English pupils over the age of 5 years go in diapers
The study shows that some Teens are not able to go to the toilet alone and lack other basic skills.
Hundreds of children aged five years and older wear nappies in primary schools.
Even perfectly healthy pupils in their Teens, without medical indications or developmental problems, are unable to go to the bathroom on their own, the researchers report.
These conclusions were obtained from surveys of teachers of English schools. This study is the first that shows the problem. Teachers also warned that there are growing numbers of young children enrolled in school without other basic skills, such how to hold a knife and fork or use a brush.
The survey was conducted by the National research Foundation in the field of education.
Experts say that it's not just the students from the poor, who are experiencing financial difficulties, but those whose parents are too busy to solve this problem.
