The Book of Daniel speaks of King Nebuchadnezzar having public schools in the sixth century B.C. That the Babylonians had such things is not disputed.
I'm not aware of earlier examples, but they no doubt existed.
The earliest school for girls in the United States was started by the Ursuline Sisters in New Orleans. Formed in 1727, it graduated the first female pharmacist and the first woman of literary note. By the end of the 18th century, girls' education usually ended at â??dame schoolâ?? which was when children were prepared for regular town schools in a woman's home. Girls seldom went beyond this level although most of the boys usually did. When girls were finally admitted to town schools, they had to attend during a different time of day.

You start at 16, then turn 17.
Where I live school is not going back for the rest of the school year.
The Logan children start school in late October in the book "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry." They are unable to start at the beginning of the school year because they have to help their parents with the cotton harvest.
The child can go with the parents and the school talks about what they did that year or what they are going to be doing for example a class to help students in school
Ah, a very interesting question. Children in India usually start school at the age of four. Some children start school at five, but they do not enter into their correct year group - they start at the beginning. Adding more, In India it is now mandatory for children to enroll for Kindergarten or pre-primary programs at the age of 2.5 years. Usually children start their primary school at the age between 4-6.5 years in India.

In Singapore one is expected to leave school at the age of 18 years. This is working with the assumption that one will start school at the age of 6 years.
In the state of Hawaii, children who are five years of age or older start school. If the child is age 5 by July 31, they are then allowed to enroll into classes for the next school year.
You can start school at the age of 3 or 4. Im not completely sure... but Im pretty sure you can only start at those times. But try and see if you can get in any later or sooner Sammy. Ontario At the age of three you have the choice to put your children in pre school. It is a good idea at four years of age if your child stays home with you! Children need to learn to interact with other children. As for when they need to start school depends on the parent. They must be five by the end of February in that school year to start in September. So the answer would be five not three or four. Thank you, AH, Alberta
At 4 years old, children can go to Kindergarten (not called Kindy all throughout Australia. Sometimes referred to as Preschool). THIS IS NOT COMPULSORY. At 5, children start school. Generally there is 8 years of Primary School. Some states have students start High School or a Middle School before Year 8. In South Australia, Primary School is Reception (First year) to Year 7 (Last year of Primary School) and then move onto High School from Year 8-Year 12.
