Lannert Judit and others initiate a social consultation on school readiness

Lannert Judit, the Minister of Education, announced a public consultation regarding flexible school starting age, emphasizing that each child's development varies. The initiative aims to allow children to start school when they are ready, considering individual growth and readiness rather than just age. Parents and kindergarten teachers will play a crucial role in decision-making, with the possibility of involving educational specialists if needed. The consultation deadline is set for November 13, and the proposal suggests that decisions about delaying school entry would shift from the Education Office back to parents and kindergarten leaders.
