What Age Do Children Start School?
In Korea, there has been discussion about the possibility of children starting school earlier ? that is to say, entering school at a lower age.
Currently, Korean children enter elementary school at the age of six.
Under a new plan, children would begin at age five.
If it is approved, the change would start in the year 2025.
It will come as no surprise to learn that the beginning ages for school differ from country to country.
In France and Hungary, children as young as three may enter school.
In Singapore and Sweden, children must be 7 years old to attend school.
In the United States, the minimum starting age ranges from 5 to 8 years old, depending on the child’s state of residence.
