Not really. High school ends at the time the student becomes an adult. (You can argue that turning 18 meaning you are an 'adult' is arbitrary as well, but that's beside the point) Adults have their own duties to society, and a much greater responsibility to themselves. At that point, I believe they need to be responsible for the consequences of their choices. Plans like this shift that burden to society itself. It's the same theory that led the idiotic school officials in Ontario to judge themselves as "co-parents".
This plan is nothing but yet another welfare system. That does not benefit society.
