ACADEMIC MATTERS
Proposal for the gradual adjustment in the age requirement for Kindergarten applicants starting AY 2017-2018
Currently, the age requirement for new kindergarten students is in accordance with the Board of Regents recommendation that “they should preferably be 5 ½ to 6 ½ years of age at the time of enrollment.” However, in the primary and secondary education curriculum, following Republic Act 10157 (Kindergarten Education Act, 2012), preschool education becomes a “one-year preparatory education for children at least 5 years old as a prerequisite for Grade 1.” The proposal is to change the age range for kindergarten applicants from 5 ½ to 6 ½ years old at the time of enrollment to 5 to 6 years old in August, the beginning of the UPIS school year.
