elementary education (sh)




or primary Education

Traditionally, the first stage of formal Education, beginning at age 5-7 and ending at age 11-13.

Often preceded by some form of preschool, it usually includes middle school, or junior high school (ages 11-13), though this is sometimes regarded as part of secondary Education. Nearly all nations are committed to some form of elementary Education, though in many developing countries many children are unable to continue full-time studies past the age of 10 or 11. The elementary curriculum usually emphasizes reading and Writing, arithmetic, social studies, and science. A basic teaching strategy involves moving the student from the immediate and familiar to the distant and unfamiliar, an approach first formulated by Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi.
