Yes, absolutely. Musical talent or the eagerness to develop one has no age boundaries and there is no reason a child can not learn from the age of 2, provided the guitar is not too heavy to lift. At 11, it could be more difficult to learn than an earlier age, but if the child requests to learn or accepts the concept of musical tutelage, then it should be addressed immediately.
Having said that, the size of an instrument should not be a problem as long as the player does not have any difficulty such as the weight, the awkwardness of its size or the reach. What is important is that holding the instrument the correct way should not feel like work, it should feel natural. There have been 6 year-old students that use a full sized guitar, but found the reach of a 3/4 sized one easier. For an 11, a full sized guitar should be fine.

What size guitar is good for a 12 year old?
Depends upon the size of the 12 year old. Sorry, couldn't resist. I have 12 year old students and I stronhly recommend a standard scale, full size guitar. A smaller neck will only rob the child of a lot of progress when he/she decides to step up.

A 3/4-sized guitar would be a better choice. If you consider buying an electric guitar, keep in mind that it's quite heavy for a 9-year old and frequently carrying it on a strap may result in spinal disorders - so I was told in a guitar shop.
Which is best for an 11 year old to learn on a electric or acoustic guitar?
It's really up to them. Though, I would suggest an electric guitar since it is easier to learn on; but after learning how to play an acoustic guitar first, the electric should be much easier. You should consider going to a music store and let them decide which one they are more comfortable playing, you may decide to buy both!
