THE age at which children start school in Scotland may be increased in line with most other European countries, according to a plan put forward to the SNP conference.
Under the proposal, being considered by the party for debate this October in Aberdeen, youngsters would remain in nursery until they are six and then move to primary school.
Party policy development convenor Toni Giugliano put forward the resolution alongside the parties Uddingston and Bellshill, Gilmerton and Stonehaven and Mearns branch.
