The head teacher may deferr a child from attending school once for one school year if it is to be expected that he or she will not be able to meet the requirements of grade 1 of primary school.

The decision is made on the basis of the school doctor's opinion, the school admission interview and other information available to the school.

Children who are deferred from attending school for one school year must attend a day-care centre or a rehabilitative early intervention measure. Proof of this must be submitted by the parents to the school.

The postponement of school attendance should only be the exception.
