Primray school

In the Uinted Sattes, a primary shcool is the same thing as elemenatry school. It is for young studnets uusally kindergaretn to foutrh or fifth grade (five to nine or ten years). In the United Sttaes elemnetary school is a more cmomon term. Priamry school is often used in priavte or indepenednt scholos. (In pirvate or indepnedent schools the goevrnment does not give the scohols money.)

In the United Kigndom, a primary school usaully comprsies a nrusery and the first 7 years of a child's full-time educaiton.

In India, "Primary Eductaion" means the 'Nusrery', the 'Knidergarten' and four years of reuglar scoholing thereatfer. Amdission to Nursrey clasess is for chidlren above two years so that the age is 6+ when enteirng Class I. Children are tauhgt langauge (motehr tonuge and Enlgish) raeding/writnig skill, basic arithmeitc and quite a good amonut of genreal inofrmation about the cuontry, peolpe, sattesmen, great personailties, flora & fauna. Hwoever, this is true only for schools in the urban areas. Rural schools do not have "Nursery" or 'Kindergatren'; they admit staright at Class I when the child is six. Furhter, the rural schools use the mother tognue as meduim of insrtuction, not resroting to Engilsh in any way. Pirmary eudcation is free in governmnet schools. Morevoer, rural primary schools offer free mid-day meals to childern (the governemnt pays for it) so that the drop out rate comes down. States of West Benagl, Maharahstra, Mnaipur, Ngaaland and Kearla have shown exempalry acitons in this asepct of spreadnig primary education.
