@LPLouw Children are set back in education because of lack of early childhood dev. The best Education systems in the world have done this

@LPLouw Read Outliers & Freakonomics. The more time children spend on school work, the more likely they are to do well and be successful.

@LPLouw Its not "robbing" children, it used to be 5yrs of age, its only under new govt it was made older.

@LPLouw WORLDWIDE reasearch, on the best edu systems in the world, shows, the more ECD, the better children do.

@LPLouw We never said it was in lieu of fixing the edu system. That is obvious. Did you read the post? It goes into "fixing" it.

@LPLouw @mailandguardian @ewnreporter Research has shown that the earlier children start school the better

@LPLouw @mailandguardian @ewnreporter Hours at school are also important . SA children have less hours of learning than most countries .

@LPLouw @mailandguardian @ewnreporter read Malcolm Gladwell's outliers for some examples

@LPLouw @mailandguardian @ewnreporter.In UK children start at 4 , no eye problems reported.Look at research docs on Japanese and Chinese Ed

@LPLouw @mailandguardian @ewnreporter Learning is the natural state of children . The earlier the stimulation the more neural pathways .
