In some countries it is thought advisable that children begin formal education at four years old, while in others they do not have to start school until they are seven or eight. How far do you agree with either of these views?

Children are vulnerable and delicate. Some countries prefer to start their formal

education

at the

age

of four whilst others prefer it to be at a late

age

.

Although

formal

education

teaches them punctuality, I believe

this

early

education

can be stressful. On the one hand, young

age

is delicate whatever taught at

this

age

retain in mind for a long time. If children visit school, they will inculcate skills. These skills will be learnt efficiently and useful in their future life.

For example

, a recent study state that children's minds fully develop at the

age

of four.

Further

, reaching and leaving institutes at particular time help to maintain discipline.

This

approach gradually leads to a disciplined lifestyle.

Hence

, by starting formal

education

at an early

age

, they learn and grow.

On the other hand

, formal

education

at a tender

age

can have severe consequences.

This

is the

age

of physical as well as mental growth.

For example

, an experiment conducted proved that children, who start formal

education

late, are more active. The burden of daily school life burgeons stress in them, which have detrimental effects. Despite formal, informal

education

is a better alternative. They should be taught while playing.

This

will be fruitful for their development.

Therefore

, formal rudimentary

education

after the

age

of eight is beneficial for their overall growth. To conclude,

education

is crucial but starting it at the right

age

is vital.

Age

four is the

age

of learning while playing so I favour that formal

education

should be mandatory after children being eight years old.
