Grade 1 schooling child age

Hi

I am sorry to tell you that your only option is for your son to re-do KG2. The age-restriction decision is enforced by MOE on all schools - no exception. I had the same problem with my son. Initially he was accepted into KG2 and then the school has moved him to redo KG1. There is nothing we can do about this unless a new decision comes from MOE in the coming period before the start of the new academic year. there are some parents who are planning to compain to MOE regarding this. lets hope for the best. but personally, I think the decision will be enforced no matter what.

Since your son will probably will not go to G1, I suggest for you to find some different schooling environment to avoid him getting bored. For example, look for schools with more activities. or a school that uses the Montessori system.

Best Regards

Thanks for your valuablie reply. But i could see in indian Embassy school kids where were born on March 2010, got admission for Level 1 during this accademic year (From April).

if you have any idea please clarify.

As far as I know, the decisions of MOE only applies to local schools ( government / private national / international ) - but not on other schools like embassy schools  ( indian school / British International School / American International School ) etc.

so I think there is no harm if you try to apply for Level 1 at Indian Embassy School. I think the decision does not apply to them.
