In the past years,
a child needed one year in Nursery school just to prepare him/her for primary
one. Today, we have a minimal of 3 years
in Nursery section. When a parent goes
to a Nursery school with the idea that a child needs at least one year of pre –
primary, that child may not be put in top class, which has the children who are
to graduate to primary one.
According to one
teacher of a Nursery school, the curriculum is such that the child should study
for 3 years before graduating to primary one.
The question one may ask, “is primary one relevant anymore?” Some parents who have failed to fix their
children in top class think that the Nursery schools just want to make
money. The teachers at Nursery also say
that children straight from home if put in Top class, these make teaching a
problem as their friends are already a head.
I am one of those
who believe that a child should have one serious year in Nursery which prepares
him/her for primary one. The other
additional time should be mostly for play as today many parents have to work
which calls for having somewhere they can leave their children.
