Children should start school at six: British academic

LONDON: An article published in a leading British daily ‘The Telegraph’ quotes a leading academic statuing that until the age of six, children should not be subjected to full classroom tuition.


Dr. Richard House who is a senior lecturer at Roehamptom University’s Research Centre for Therapeutic Education said gifted pupils from relatively affluent backgrounds suffered the most from being pushed too fast.

According to a major US Study which was conducted over a span of eight years, children’s intellect benefited from being slowed down in the early years allowing them to develop naturally.
