About this episode
If you've ever wondered whether the month you were born in impacts your educational achievement, there is now evidence to say yes it can have an impact. Dr Jo Knox has been doing research around the world into the different policies for when children start school.
This conversation explores the complexities of New Zealand's enrolment system in education. It explains why some children will have more terms at school than others and what impact that has on achievement for some. Dr Knox looks at the disparities it can cause and advice for parents who have children about to start school.
