The primary level of education, also known as elementary education, is the first formal stage of schooling that follows early childhood education (Nursery, LKG, UKG). It typically covers children aged 6 to 11 years (Grades 1 to 5 or 6, depending on the educational system). This stage is critical as it builds the foundation for academic knowledge, social skills, and personal development.
