If a student has to be over 5 years of age, does this mean that pre-K and Nursery students cannot be entered into BCeSIS?
Yes. For now as the legislation reads, a child under the age of five is not eligible for a PEN and therefore cannot be entered into BCeSIS. The team has highlighted this as a unique difference for First Nations schools as many offer pre-Kindergarten education. The team has requested that the amendment to the legislation would also address the need to lower the age limit on PEN assignment.
