FAQ
Yes, absolutely. In most primary schools, the fountain pen remains standard from grade 2 or 3 onwards to promote an ergonomic hand position and improve handwriting. Later on in secondary schools, the choice of pen is usually left up to the pupil.
Make sure you know whether your child is right- or left-handed and, above all, look for an ergonomic grip.
The most popular alternative is the rollerball pen. It also uses liquid, often erasable ink, doesn’t scratch the paper and is forgiving if held at the wrong angle.
