Education Minister Yifat Shasha-Biton is promoting a plan to start teaching English as early as preschool, Channel 13 reports.

Currently, English studies begin in third grade. The network notes that in Europe children often get their first exposure to English during preschool.

The new plan would see children spend 15-30 minutes a day on activities tied to English studies.
