Editing First grade (section)

=== South America ===
In [[Brazil]], first grade is the ''primeiro ano do Ensino Fundamental I''. That is, the minimum age for first grade was changed from 7 (84 months) to 6 years (72 months) when the "alphabetization" grade, called simply Alfabetização (literacy), was renamed first grade, with all following grades renamed as well. All students must be 6 years old before an assigned cut-off date.{{citation needed|date=November 2020}}

In [[Uruguay]], first graders are usually six years old. However, regulations stipulate that students must be six years old before April 30 in that given year.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ceip.edu.uy/documentos/normativa/ceip/2017/Documento_Edad_para_el_ingreso_a_la_escuela.pdf |title=Edad para el ingreso a la escuela ''(Age for starting school)'' |website=CEIP |access-date=2019-12-23 |language=es |year=2017 |archive-date=2020-09-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200901103525/http://www.ceip.edu.uy/documentos/normativa/ceip/2017/Documento_Edad_para_el_ingreso_a_la_escuela.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref>
