Read BlogsPrimary education, often known as elementary education, is the initial phase of formal schooling, following preschool/kindergarten and before secondary school. In India, primary or basic education lasts eight years. Primary, grades I-V, and upper primary, grades VI-VIII, are two stages that pupils go through. There is no universally accepted period for primary education. However, it is typically 3-6 years of elementary school, while in some countries (such as the United States), the initial 7-9 years are deemed elementary education.
