What is the deadline for enrollment?
The school enrollment date is the day on which compulsory schooling begins for a child of school age. The age of enrollment and the enrollment date vary from state to state. For example, in Hesse the enrollment date is June 30 and the enrollment age is 6 years. This means that for all children who are 6 years old on that day, compulsory schooling begins with the new school year.
Enrolment at 5 years of age – Does that make sense?
The age of enrollment depends on the respective state, as each state has its own school laws that regulate compulsory education. Usually, children start school at the age of six. If a child is “sufficiently developed” at five, he or she can start school before the deadline.
Children develop in very different ways and there are children who are ready for school at the age of five, which means emotionally sufficiently stable and socially mature. Critics claim that too early enrollment in school could impair children’s performance and development. Others argue that it may be difficult for children to cope with increased failure over the primary school years. Therefore, it is important, especially with young children, to thoroughly examine whether the child is ready for school enrollment.
