Mumbai: At a time when schools are desperately waiting for the state education department to shed some light on the age criteria for entry level admissions, two government resolutions (GRs) released on Wednesday have finally cleared the air.

While previously, the age limit for admissions to class I was set at six years and above, the government has now clearly stated that children above the age of five years too will be eligible for admissions to class I. Similarly, the age limit for playgroup has been set at three years.
