SILVEIRA, Adriana Dragone  and  COUTINHO, Angela Scalabrin. A entrada antecipada de crianças com menos de 6 anos no ensino fundamental: Implicações para a constituição da infância. Invest. Práticas [online]. 2016, vol.6, n.1, pp.87-109. ISSN 2182-1372.

The change on the definition of the enrollment age in elementary school from 7 to 6 years old by Law No. 11,114, 2006 has sparked debates in the fields of education and justice system around the limit date of enrollment. This article aims to present the implementation scenario of the age limit for enrollment into elementary school, as well as discuss the early entry of the child at this stage of basic education, trying to analyze the implication of small children entry into elementary school on the limitation of their educational rights and for childhood constitution. The access to each stage of basic education assumes appropriate age-groups and the children enrollment has to be done in reference to the established age and not psychological and/or pedagogical reports that attest small child’s capacities, which reveals a certain concept of child, childhood and educational processes.

Keywords : childhood; enrollment on elementary school; legal actions.
