Year Fourteen is an educational year group in Northern Ireland. It is the second and final year of post-compulsory Sixth form education.
Commonly in England and Wales, students will re-apply to their sixth form after completing year 13 to study a fifteenth year of education if they are unable to obtain a university spot or need to complete their A Levels. They are then referred to as being in Year 14.
Famous quotes containing the words year and/or fourteen:
“The boys dressed themselves, hid their accoutrements, and went off grieving that there were no outlaws any more, and wondering what modern civilization could claim to have done to compensate for their loss. They said they would rather be outlaws a year in Sherwood Forest than President of the United States forever.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“I have been in the editorial business going on fourteen years, and it is the first time I ever heard of a man’s having to know anything in order to edit a newspaper.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
