Early Entry: A Policy in Search of Practice.

Rankin, Florence; Vialle, Wilma

Australian Journal of Early Childhood, v21 n1 p6-11 Mar 1996

Discusses impact of New South Wales (NSW) policy on early school admission for young gifted children. Surveys attitudes of NSW principals about the policy and impediments to its implementation. Identifies social and economic factors as of greater concern for principals than the child's academic adjustment. Suggests that more awareness is needed for program to have intended benefits. (TM)
