catkind:  
If apparition is to be the parallel of driving, then it probably won't
be taught in school. In the UK there aren't usually driver's ed
courses in school, it's something you do privately. If I remember
correctly, you don't even have to have a paid instructor, any adult
with a certain number of years experience can teach you.  

So I at least was picturing Mr Weasley teaching Fred and George during
the summer holiday.
 
Also, all the students will be turning 17 at different points in the
year, so when would the lessons start?
