Delay school entry until six, researchers urge
Children in England - and the rest of the UK - start school earlier than their European peers
Schooling in England should not start until the age of six because having formal lessons too early can put bright children off learning, research claims.
Formal lessons should be delayed at least a year, says Dr Richard House, of the Research Centre for Therapeutic Education at Roehampton University.
Dr House is calling on the government to slow down the "premature adultification" of children.
[This refers to formal education, which is very adultish, not playgroups which engage infants and toddlers, and encourage them to explore the world around them. Sam]
