    Is he going back to full time education?
  • She said that he will go back to college until he gets another apprenticeship.

    Then once he's back in education ,yes you have to pay, until his 20th birthday if he takes a two year course. Obviously ends if he gets an apprenticeship. Maybe time fir a little man to man discussion as how to avoid being dismissed? And help finding an apprenticeship?
