New Delhi, Feb 15 (PTI) In a step aimed at reducing pressure on thousands of children and their parents, the minimum age for admission for nursery in the Delhi schools may be raised from three to four years.

Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal today held a meeting with principals and parents where a consensus was evolved that the minimum age for nursery admission should be four years, while it should be six years for Class-I.

The minister will write to Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit to consider its implementation.

According to Sibal, "The consensus was that the minimum age for nursery admission should not be three years.

It should be four years. Admission into nursery system at three years adds emotional stress to the child when he should discover the world.
