Why can demand for primary schools remain high immediately after fertility begins to decline?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Large cohorts born earlier are still entering school ages

Fertility decline affects the number of young children with a time lag. Children born before the decline continue to grow and reach primary-school age for several years. Therefore, school enrolment and demand may remain high even though the number of new births has begun to fall. Planning must consider these existing age cohorts rather than only current fertility.

The correct explanation is that large cohorts born earlier are still entering school ages. Hence option A is correct. Fertility decline does not immediately increase school-age children, and schools do not control birth rates. A zero death rate is also irrelevant to this delayed education-demand effect.
