Question about the UK school leaving age?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1052176/Pupils-returning-school-generation-stay-17.html Does this mean that now kids will not get nation insurance numbers at 16 and will no longer get EMA?

Its only England and Wales not Scotland and Northern Ireland although they will undoubtedly do the same thing in the coming months. As for an NI number you will need that if you intend claiming benefit or starting work so there is no age restriction. Education Maintenance Allowance? I guess not at 16 any longer in England and Wales but that's just a guess (it will take a while for other government departments to catch up and announce associated changes). East Midlands Airport? There will always be East Midlands Airport no matter what age you are. The first thing you must do for your own health safety is stop reading the Daily Mail immediately. Seriously, you'll go blind, come over all hairy in all the wrong places and not be able to button your cardigan properly.
