In most places, the legal age to stop attending school is usually higher than 16. It is important to check the specific laws and requirements in the particular location as truancy laws and compulsory education laws vary by jurisdiction. In many places, obligations for education usually extend at least until the age of 18.

Legally, parents cannot prevent their 17-year-old child from attending college if the child is paying for it themselves. At 17, the child is considered a legal adult in many jurisdictions, so they have the right to make their own decisions regarding education. Parents may still be able to provide guidance or advice, but they cannot legally dictate whether the child can attend college or not.
