๐ซ Education Information
When writing about ages in education, there are many different ways to write the actual age which had made it confusing when people from places that use different age system writes or explains to each other.
Most of people in Malaysia are writing age by year, so you would say that people first get in primary school when they're 7 years old, but the real age on first schoolday date for the chilren is 6 years old. For example, if you're born in 3 March 2013, you will get in primary school in 1 January 2020 just like everyone else who are born in 2013. Even if you are technically still 6 years old on 1 January 2020 since you will only turn 7 in 3 March 2020, but you will be counted as 7 years old when you compare the year itself.
However, I'm going to use the exact age by first schoolday date instead of the year-based age for the rest of education introductions here, because it is more accurate. Furthermore, as we go in higher education levels, the schooling start dates are going to change and no longer fixed as the first day of the year.
