The document discusses the education system in Northern Ireland. It covers early childhood education from nursery school until age 4, primary school from ages 4 to 11, and the 11+ exam students take at age 10 or 11 to determine which type of secondary school they will attend. The 11+ exam was controversial and scrapped in 2008, leading children to now be placed in secondary schools based on their home address rather than exam results. This has caused debate as some think it removes academic assessment from the school placement process.
