								perspectives on the onset of English Language Education). Results
								reveal that a significant majority of parents advocate for an early
								start in year 1 or 2 of primary school, generally aligning with
								their strong conviction of the importance of English, high
								educational aspirations and expectations, and their own (early)
								start of language education. The findings contribute to a deeper
								understanding of parental perspectives that have also shown to be
								related to multiple indicators of educational success in general and
								achievements in language learning in particular.</jats:p>}},
