Under the NEP, the education department had set the minimum age for admission to Grade 1 at six years. Another parent added, “Now that the NEP is no longer in effect, the age requirement needs to be revised. Many parents are hesitant to admit their children to either LKG or the first grade due to age concerns. Therefore, the education department should convene a meeting to address the age issue. Previously, the age requirement for LKG was 3.10 to 4.10, and it should be reinstated.”
