The head teacher may defer a child from attending school once for a school year if it is to be expected that the child will not be able to meet the requirements of Year 1 of elementary 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 center or a rehabilitative early intervention program. Proof of this must be submitted to the school by the parents.

Deferral from school attendance should only be an exception.
