In Western Europe, there was no standard age for beginning education. Most children in the Middle Ages were probably not educated. Those who went to school were probably educated for a while before they went.
In the Byzantine Empire, there was a system of primary education, but its purpose was to see that all soldiers were literate. I do not know when peoples started into it.
We do not have a lot of information on the education of children, but it is a matter of record that Matilda of Scotland, who was born in 1080 and was the daughter of King Malcolm III and St. Margaret, started her education in an abbey school at the age of six. We also know that Hildegard of Bingen was probably sent to a convent, where she was formally educated, at the age of eight.

Those children who went to school went for varying amounts of time, from practically nothing to many years. Education was in no way standardized in the Middle Ages for anyone prior to entry in a university.so it is humorous question.
Most of the children in the medieval times did not survive. Almost half of the children each year would die before reaching adulthood. This was mainly because of the many plagues in the medieval towns, including the Bubonic Plague and leprosy.
