The state sets the school age for children.
Legal analysis: The age of primary school entrance stipulated by the state is six years old. Primary school is a school where people receive primary formal education and an important part of basic education. With the development of society, the kindergarten garden was established before it. Generally, children aged 6- 12 are primary school students. At present, the length of primary education is 6 years, and in some places it is still 5 years. The primary education stage is followed by the secondary education stage. Primary education is open to all school-age children, and any minor citizen, regardless of race, nationality, sex, skin color, language and socio-economic status, must receive primary education as long as he reaches a certain age (6-7 years old).

Legal basis: Article 11 of the Compulsory Education Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that all children over the age of six shall be sent to school by their parents or other legal guardians to receive and complete compulsory education; Children in areas where conditions are not available can be postponed to seven years of age. School-age children and adolescents who need to postpone or drop out of school due to their physical condition shall apply to their parents or other legal guardians, and be approved by the education administrative department of the local township people's government or the county-level people's government.
