Juliusmomoh: Do you mean 1 year, six months old? If so, the child can get started in play group. |

Juliusmomoh: I meant, he can start play group. That's a class for early years. Alternatively, you can wait till he is 2 then he can start pre school. 1 Like |

Juliusmomoh: Yes but target Three years for Nursery 1. Five years for Primary 1. Ten years for Primary 5. At Ten years, he/she is qualified for common entrance in most secondary schools. Eleven years in Primary 6 is a bonus. 1 Like |

NL1960: I want to rephrase this post so as to be clearer. Yes but target Nursery 1 at age 3. Primary 1 at age 5. Primary 5 at age 10. At age 10, he/she is qualified for common entrance in most secondary schools. Age 11 in Primary 6 is a bonus. |

I'll say a year+, you can get the child toys like get him actively learning and nursery rhymes to sing along , parents atimes leave everything for the teacher and thats not proper, you should also participate in your baby's learning |

Seeking advice from other parents is good but also note that kids mature at different rates. Gain university admission with Jamb using Jupeb or Ijmb. Learn more today www.ijmbdivinehelp.com |

rowland545: Do what is best for you. You do not have to follow my advise. Iam a believer in 10 years to enter secondary. My daughter passed into a competitive secondary school in primary 4 at 9+ but i prevented her from going as i wanted her to do one more year in Primary school. There is no hurry in life. Btw, your kidbro is not doing anything special writing neck exams at 14 years. Btw, it is NECO and not neck. I have seen 12 years writing NECO exams. 1 Like |

Divoc19: Some parents insist on the child completing the entire primary education in the 6-3-3-4 system. So after Primary 5, you can decide to allow the child to go to Primary 6 or he/she goes to secondary. None of my kids did Primary 6 as my target was 10 or 10+ to enter secondary as the plan was for them to go to a boarding school and i feel that at 10 or 10+, they will be able to cope in boarding. |

NL1960:thanks for the correction... I'm glad u got d message. I hope u won't see anything special when ur child is 20 and still in sec school |
Re: When Is The Right Age For A Child To Start Going To School ? by NL1960: 10:41am On Jul 06, 2021 |
rowland545: Very funny. How is that possible?. I plan my kids education from when they are born. Age 3 in Nursery 1. Age 5 in Primary 1. Age 10 in Primary 5. So how is it possible that the child will be in secondary at age 20?. My son is 15 and is about to write WAEC having blasted his February WAEC GCE which he can use to enter University if i want as he got a good JAMB result. The key thing is to meticulously plan your kids education. As i said, iam a strong believer in age 10 for secondary. I do not subscribe to age 8 for secondary no matter how brilliant the child is. 1 Like |

Divoc19: Maybe i use the word 'bonus' in a wrong context. What i was actually implying is that it now depends on the parent to allow the child to continue to Primary 6. Some schools have strictly Primary 6 and will not give the child a testimonial if the child does not do Primary 6. Schools that have Primary 6 spread the scheme across 6 years to Primary 6 but those that do not have Primary 6 spread the scheme across 5 years to Primary 5. Some schools with Primary 5 basically have Primary 6 as a revision class for pupils preparing for common entrance. |
