Trends in the Early Admission of Children to School: Appropriate or Expedient?
Daniels, Sandra; And Others
Educational Research, v37 n3 p239-49 Win 1995
Data from 102 of 108 local education authorities in England showed a trend toward earlier admission to school (age 4). Provision of appropriate conditions for four-year olds had been a low priority in many districts. Factors influencing the trend included government policy, funding changes, and lack of high-quality preschool facilities. (SK)
