520 |a England's trend toward encouraging 4-year-old children to begin infant school at the beginning of the year in which they become 5 years of age led the British Association for Early Childhood Education to investigate the needs of 4-year-olds in school. At the end of a year's discussion, 56 working groups completed a questionnaire which has raised several issues. While respondents disagreed about the needs of 4-year-olds in school, they agreed substantially about environmental characteristics appropriate to 4-year-old children, the need for a teacher/student ratio of 1:13 or less, the provision of a trained nursery nurse, training for teachers, and teachers' support needs. Respondents disagreed about full-day versus half-day scheduling, incorporation of nursery classes in schools, duration of nursery experience for students, and the value of placing 4-year-olds in primary classes for the purpose of socializing them to a work ethic. Concluding remarks emphasized the need to ensure that any child entering school under the age of 5 years is provided an appropriate physical environment and is taught by appropriately trained staff who provide a developmental curriculum and recognize the developmental differences between 4- and 5-year-olds.
