So, do I have a definitive list for you? Nope. Hop on a call with me to get the lowdown on moving abroad with children Let’s chat! Compulsory school starting ages around the world If you’d like to chat about YOUR children and preparing them for a move overseas, get in touch! There is also a difference between compulsory school and compulsory education.
This is all about the local school system too – you may find that if you send your child to an international school based on a specific country’s curriculum, their starting age may be different from the local, compulsory school age.Are they 5 years old on x date, or y date? Your child’s birth date will definitely impact on which school year/grade they will enter. When your child reaches a certain age.When the school year starts in that country.Governments keep changing their mind on when a child should start school.Īlso, there are many criteria to consider, for example: That’s also the reason I clearly put the date I created this into my article. I have sent Google in to meltdown trying to find concrete information and, for quite a few countries, I have to admit I simply gave up. Gathering all the information about all the countries and their different rules and regulations turned into a bit of an obsession. Well, I found a little time to work on it today – 19th June 2019 – and it nearly drove me crazy. Normally I would simply delete this post but I have quite a lot of links to it. Apologies! It’s too big a job as many countries have different rules even per state or territory. I was going to rewrite the data but I simply don’t have the time. Unfortunately, the link this post went to has proved unreliable and often missing, so I have unlinked it. However, people kept searching for the information about when a child should start school and finding this page, and I have quite a few links to it, so I kept it ‘alive’ with the following disclaimer There’s nothing I hate more than links that get removed or broken, and normally I would simply remove this whole post from my website. Since I originally shared this article in January 2017, the link to a rather cool and interactive map it came with pretty much stopped working. It can be quite a shock for a child who has started school in the UK at aged 4 or 5 to move to country where compulsory education doesn’t start until they are 7 years old. Knowing a country’s compulsory school starting age is useful for expat families who move between countries and schooling. This question is akin to ‘how long is a piece of string?’ Compulsory school starting ages vary a lot around the world – mainly from age 3 years to age 7 years.
