Primary education

This sub-class includes primary schools. These education courses aim to give students a sound basic education in reading, writing and/or mathematics and/or an elementary understanding of other subjects such as history, geography, natural science, social science, art and/or music. Such education is generally provided for children, however the provision of literacy programmes within or outside the school system, which are similar in content to programmes in primary education but are intended for those considered too old to enter elementary schools, is also included (i.e., adult literacy programmes).
