New Commitment To Early Education Picks Four as Start Age
The National Education Association policy commission urges universal public education beginning at age four. It cites Head Start as evidence of benefits and notes 8.4 million children aged four to five, with 3.4 million already in some form of school. A funding increase would be needed to absorb 5 million new students and avoid overcrowded facilities. Local, state, and national educators should reconsider traditional school organization.
