| Popis: |
Various rounds of the annual ASER surveys as well as the IECEI study have pointed to the lack of a standard age of entry to school. While the IECEI study reports on low levels of school readiness and the relationship between readiness and learning achievements in primary grades along with several factors that influence learning levels, it does not discuss in sufficient detail the question of age of a child as a possible important factor. This chapter addresses this gap. Its focus is on the effects of age on the learning outcomes of young children as seen in both their school readiness and early grade scores in three states in the country: Assam, Rajasthan and Telangana. A statistical analysis indicates that the “age effect” is not significant. However, this lack of significance may not be as much because of the absence of a “real” difference in learning levels between the younger and older children as much as it is due to the overall low scoring context in which these children are located. |
