BBC NEWS | UK | Education | Call for lessons to begin at six on 2009-10-19
- Children should not start formal learning until they are six, a review of primary education in England says.
- Instead the kind of play-based learning featured in nurseries and reception classes should go on for another year, the Cambridge Primary Review says.
- 4 more annotations...
- - Continuing this informal but structured learning for a year or so would bring children in England in line with many European countries, where school starts at six or even seven, and standards are often higher.
  - It stops short of calling for the age of compulsory schooling to be put back to age six, but does call for an open debate on the subject.
  - The authors also call for national assessment tests, known as Sats, to be abandoned, saying their high-stakes nature, being linked to league tables, encourages a too-narrow focus on literacy and numeracy.
  - Welsh schoolchildren no longer sit Sats at 7, 11 and 14, nor are school league tables used there any more.
