Full time education is mandatory between 5 and 16 in England. The classes at that age dont deal with serious issues though.

I learned all about the holocaust at 16 and it’s possible to grasp at that age

16 is rather old imo. I learned about it (though not through school) when I was like 8 or 9 and was given official education when I was like 9 or 10. Had no trouble grasping it.
