ENTRANCE AGE
. Question of School Vacations DIRECTION BY MINISTER The raising of the school entrance age and the modification of the original legislation providing for the admission and enrolment of children at the commencement of the term during which they attain the age of six years, have given rise to some doubt as to whether holidays which immediately follow any school term shall be considered as forming part of the term. . The Minister of Education, Hon. It. Masters, explained yesterday that he had directed that the vacation which immediately followed any school term shall be regarded as part of that term. A child, therefore, who reaches the age of six years before the first school day of the next term may be enrolled within the first four weeks of the term in which he reaches the age of six years.
