The Karnataka State Government has set a clear guideline regarding the minimum age requirement for admission to Class 1 for the academic year 2025–26. As per the new regulation, a child must be at least 5 years and 5 months old as of June 1, 2025, to be eligible for Class 1 admission.
Key Highlights:
- Minimum Age: 5 years 5 months
- Cut-off Date: The child should have completed this age on or before June 1, 2025
- Applicable For: All schools affiliated with State syllabus (Karnataka SSLC), including aided, unaided, and government schools
Why the Change?
This decision aligns with the recommendations of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which suggests foundational education to be spread across five years – three years of preschool (Anganwadi/Kindergarten) followed by two years in preparatory classes (Class 1 and 2). The revised age ensures that children are mentally and emotionally prepared for formal schooling.
What Parents Need to Know:
- Children born on or before December 1, 2019, will generally meet the age criteria.
- Schools may verify the age through a birth certificate or official documents.
- It's advisable to consult the school or local education department for specific guidelines and documentations
