Basic education and primary education are usually the first stage of formal education, coming after preschool and before secondary education (The first two grades of primary, first and second grade are also part of education early childhood). Basic education usually occurs in primary or primary school. In some countries, primary education is followed by secondary schools, educational stages that exist in some countries, and occurs between primary and high school. Primary education in Australia consists of a base class for grade 6. Basic education usually consists of grades 1-6 in the US.

Millennium Development Goal
The United Nations Millennium Development Goal 2 is to achieve universal primary education by 2015, at which point their aim is to ensure that all children everywhere, regardless of race or sex, will be able to finish primary school.
Due to the fact that the United Nations specifically focuses on Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, as both are home to the majority of school dropouts, they hypothesize that they may not be able to achieve their goals by 2015. According to the fact sheet on September 2010, this is because there are still about 69 million school age children who are not enrolled with nearly half of the demographics in sub-Saharan Africa and more than a quarter in South Asia.
To achieve the goal by 2015, the United Nations estimates that all children at the age of formal entry for elementary school will have to attend classes in 2009. This will depend on the duration of the baseline level, as well as how well the school retains students until the end of the cycle.
Not only is it important for children to be enrolled in education, but countries will also need to ensure that there are enough teachers and classrooms to meet student demand. In 2010, the number of new teachers needed in sub-Saharan Africa alone, matches the current teaching strength in the region.
However, the gender gap for children not in education has also narrowed. Between 1999 and 2008, the number of girls who did not attend school worldwide declined from 57 percent to 53 percent, but it should also be noted that in some areas, that percentage increased.
According to the UN, there are many things in the region that have been achieved. Although registration in the sub-Saharan Africa region continues to be the lowest region worldwide, in 2010 "still increased by 18 percentage points - from 58 percent to 76 percent - between 1999 and 2008." There is also progress in South Asia and North Africa, where both regions are seeing an increase in registrations. For example, In South Asia, this has increased by 11 percent and in North Africa by 8 percent - over the last decade.
Major advances have been made even in the poorest countries such as the elimination of primary school fees in Burundi where there is an increase in primary school enrollment that reached 99 percent in 2008. Also, Tanzania experienced similar results. This country doubles its revenue ratio over the same period. In addition, other regions in Latin America such as Guatemala and Nicaragua, and Zambia in South Africa "penetrate 90 percent toward greater access to basic education."

Australia
In Australia, students do preschool then 13 years of school before moving to vocational or higher education. Basic education for most children starts after they turn 5 years old. In most states, children may be enrolled earlier at the discretion of their respective principals on the basis of intellectual talent. In Victoria, New South Wales, Northern Territory, ACT and Tasmania students then moved through School/Admissions/Schools and Year 1 to 6 before starting high school. In Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia students do Year 7 while still enrolled in primary school, although most government primary schools move to the 6th K structure to line up with other countries to ensure that Year 7 students can perform practical laboratory components from national syllabus.

Depending on the state, the primary school provides education from Class 1 to Class 4 or from Class 1 to Class 6. After primary school students can attend the more work-oriented Hauptschule, Mittelschule, Regionale Schule or Realschule, a more oriented Gymnasium academic, or Gesamtschule, which is comparable to the Comprehensive School.
The first school for German children is called Grundschule. It usually takes four years, students between the ages of six and ten. Education consists of learning to read, write, basic math and general knowledge. In some schools, the first foreign language was introduced, usually English. In the final year of primary school, children receive recommendations on which secondary school they can attend.

Indonesia
The Indonesian term for primary school is "primary school" and consists of six classes.
India
In India, primary schools provide education from Grade 1 to Grade 8. Children in these classes are generally between the ages of 6 and 15 years. This is the next stage after kindergarten (Pre-Breeding, Nursery, Preparation or Kindergarten and Upper TK). The next stage after primary education is Junior High School (Grades 7 to 10). In most schools in Northern India, children in Class 1 through 3 are taught English, Hindi, Mathematics, Environmental Science, and General Knowledge. In grades 4 and 5 the subject of environmental science is replaced by the General Science and Social Sciences. However some schools may introduce this concept in Class 3 itself. Some schools may also introduce a third language in Class 5 or even in Class 4. Sanskrit and local state languages ​​are the third most common language taught in Indian schools. In some places, basic education is labeled as a 3rd to 5th grade education and up to the 2nd grade as a pre-primary education. This is because many new concepts are introduced in this class. Children are taught to paint instead of drawing and coloring, tests are taken, and Word Sum Puzzle in mathematics is introduced along with geometry.
The National Education Research and Training Council (NCERT) is the top agency for school education in India. NCERT provides support and technical assistance to a number of schools in India and oversees many aspects of educational policy enforcement. In India, the various bodies governing the school education system are:
- State government boards, where the majority of Indian children are registered.
- Secondary Education Center Board (CBSE).
- Indian School Certificate Examination Board (CISCE).
- Institute of National Open Schools.
- International schools affiliated with the International Baccalaureate Program or Cambridge International Examinations.
- Islamic Madrasah school, whose council is controlled by the local state government, or autonomous, or affiliated with Darul Uloom Deoband.
- Autonomous schools such as Woodstock School, Auroville, Patha Bhavan, and Ananda Marga Gurukula.
Primary/secondary education in India is separated as Primary (first standard to the 5th standard), Upper Primer (6th to 8th Standard), Lower Secondary (Standard 9th to 10th Standard), and Higher Secondary (the 11th and 12th standards).
- Kindergarten: nursery - 3 years, Lower Kindergarten (LKG) - 4 years, Upper Kindergarten (UKG) - 5 years. This is not mandatory under government regulations but is recommended before joining the first standard.

Many schools are managed and owned by the Roman Catholic Church, with fewer numbers belonging to the Irish Church and Multi Denominational Groups Educated Together and a handful run by other religions such as Muslims. Each school body decides its emphasis on religious instruction. In Catholic schools grades 2 and 6 prepare children for Holy Communion and Confirmation respectively. In the Church of Ireland, this preparation is done when the student is about 14 years old, and is in high school.
Children can start in primary school at any age between four and six years. Most children finish primary school on or about twelve years.

Dutch
Children in the Netherlands must be at least four years old to enter basic education. Almost all 4-year-olds (99.3%) in the Netherlands actually attend primary school, though this is not required until children reach the age of 5. The primary school is free of charge. In most schools, children are grouped by age in mixed-ability classes, with one teacher for all subjects. Elementary school consists of 8 groups (so 8 years of school). During the first two years (second kindergarten), children receive an average of 22 hours of education, for the last 6 years the children receive an average of 25 hours per week. Schools are open 5 days a week, but all children have half a day on Wednesdays (ends at noon). At the end of elementary school, in group 8, the school advises on secondary school options. Most schools use national tests to support this suggestion, eg 'Citotoet', a test developed by the Central Institute for Test development.
- group 1: age 4-5 (kindergarten)
- group 2: age 5-6 (kindergarten)
- group 3: age 6-7 (school curriculum starts with writing, reading, etc.)

Pakistan
In Pakistan, children aged between 3-6 years start attending Pre-Schools that are not mandatory but are recommended by government and private education sector.
The Pre School is associated with the Early Years of Education (EYE) program which basically consists of three initial years of education ranging from Play Class or Pre Nursery students aged 3 and Nursery Grade 4 and Grade 5 Preparation. The most private schools have various class names for Pre-School Class I-e, Nursery, Kindergarten-1 and Kindergarten-2. Meanwhile, some other private schools mention pre-school classes such as Nursery, Kindergarten and Prep.
Free and compulsory basic education by the Government of Pakistan at the Provincial Government and Federal Government Public School. The government requires parents to enroll their children in school. The age of the students should be 5 to 6 years when received in class 1. In addition to Government Schools there are many Private Schools that provide primary, secondary, and senior high school education at a higher cost.
Basic Education in Pakistan is a 5-year education program ranging from Grades 1 through 5. Primary schools are called secondary schools where classes 6-8 are taught. The secondary school is a two year education called Matric consisting of grades 9 and 10. Students after the 10th year of education from the Secondary Education Board (BSEE) or Secondary School Certificate (SSC) exam often call matriculation. The 11 and 12 year education classes are mostly held at High School or at Higher Education located in the jurisdiction of the Secondary Education Council (BIE). Classes are called Year One and Second Year Intermediate level in college. After that students are allowed to enter the University to obtain a bachelor's degree in their respective subjects.
Philippines
In the Philippines, the Ministry of Education mandated that primary schools last for 7 years in the public school system starting with Kindergarten and 1st grade and culminating with grade 6. After successful completion of the 7-year program will be a graduate student, awarded a basic diploma and can be moved to a 4-year high school program (most private schools will require entrance exams). But most private schools (which typically refer to primary levels as "primary schools"), especially exclusive schools and those accredited with high levels of autonomy from the Ministry of Education usually extend their programs to grade 7 and can also include levels such as nursery, (English) (some private schools share this into Bahasa and Reading) and Filipino, Mathematics, Science , Social Sciences (taught in Mother tongue from Grade 1-Grade 3, Filipino in Grades 4-6), Music, Art, Physical Education and Health (collectively known as MAPEH), Values ​​Education and Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE). Students in grade 6, whether studying in public or private schools are required to undergo National Achievement (SD) Test (NAT) even if level 6 is not the terminal level at the school. NAT is similar to certain schemes such as Primary School Leaving Examination of Singapore (PSLE), except that NAT scores are not used as a basis for receiving students to secondary school. Kindergarten, Grade 1 through Grade 6 are influenced by K-12 education.

Media instruction is English. After completing kindergarten, or pre-school year, children will have to go through mandatory 6-year basic education, from 7 to 12 years of age. At the end of primary education, students are required to take the standard national exam, Leaving Examination Primary School (also known as PSLE). Based on the results of the PSLE, students enroll and are sorted into secondary school for a 4 or 5 year course.
Basic education in Singapore, usually starting at age seven, is four years of primary stage (Primary 1 to 4) and a two-year orientation stage (Primary 5 to 6). Basic education is mandatory and low cost in public schools, there are also other costs per student to help cover other expenses.
During the foundation stage, all students are taught English as a first language, mother tongue as a second language and Mathematics. Science was introduced starting from Primary 3 and beyond. In addition to these testable subjects, lessons in Civics and Moral Education, arts and crafts, music, health education, social studies and physical education are conducted at various levels. Students are also introduced to project work, receive pastoral care and career guidance, and participate in the Curriculum and Community Engagement Coordination Program. At the orientation stage, the weaker students are banded based on their abilities in four testable subjects. Known as "ribbons by subject", they take individual subjects at either a standard or foundation level. In contrast, higher mother tongues are offered for students with higher abilities.
Somalia
In Somalia, students start primary school when they are 7 and finish it at age 11 starting from form 1 to form 4. Students must first have attended regular school known as dugsi and study the Muslim holy book of Qur'an , and the meaning of Arabic. Pupils who do not do this are not allowed to start primary school because they will be checked before starting. Student ages can sometimes vary to see that some students achieve higher than predicted values ​​and may skip that year while some have to repeat years if they do not reach the required value of them. After finishing elementary school, students move to high school.
South Korea
In South Korea, students attend elementary school from kindergarten through 6th grade. Students study various subjects, including: Korean, English, Chinese characters, math, social studies, science, computer, art, physical education, music, ethics, and home economics.

Basic Education in Turkey
United Kingdom
Primary schools in England and Wales are publicly funded schools that provide basic educational standards for children between the ages of six to 14 between 1870 and 1944. These are set up to enable children to receive basic manual and instructional training and provide a limited curriculum with emphasis on reading, writing and counting (three R's). Schools operate on a 'monitorial' system, where one teacher oversees a large class with the help of a supervisory team, which is quite often an older student. Primary school teachers are paid on the basis of results. Their students are expected to achieve the right standards in reading, writing and numeracy such as reading short paragraphs in newspapers, writing from dictation, and counting numbers and fractions.
Prior to 1944 about 80 percent of the school population attended primary school until age 14. The rest were transferred either to secondary school or junior engineering school at age 11. The school system changed with the introduction of the Education Act of 1944. Education was restructured into three progressive stages known as education basic, secondary education and further education.
In the UK, schools providing basic education are now known as primary schools. They generally cater for children aged four to eleven (reception to Year Six or in Northern Ireland and Scotland P1 to P7). Primary schools are often divided into baby schools for children from four to seven and high school for ages seven to 11 years. In minority areas (reduced) where there is a "three-tier" system, children go to low school or "first school" to about 9, then high school to about 13, then upper school; in these places, the term "primary school" is usually not used.
In British schools providing basic education in the state sector is known as elementary school. They generally cater for children aged four to eleven (Reception to Year Six; in Northern Ireland and Scotland Primer to Class Seven).
In areas that adopt a three-tier system, the term elementary school is often used as an alternative to the First School, taking up to 9 or 10 years, although for educational planning purposes, the term "basic education" in this field will still include the age group as in the system two-tier.
In the private sector, schools that pay the fees that provide basic education are known as prep school, and they often serve children up to the age of thirteen. As the name implies, prep school is designed to prepare students for independent school entrance exams that pay fees.
English
Children start school either in that year or where they reach five years depending on the policy of the Local Education Authority. All public schools are required to follow a centralized Centralized Curriculum. The primary school years are divided into Key Stages:

United States
In the United States, the authority to regulate education is constitutionally with each state. The direct authority of the US Congress and the US Department of Federal Education is essentially limited to federal constitutional rights and enforcement. Major indirect authorities are run through federal national program funding and block grants; but there is no obligation for any country to receive this fund, and the US government can instead propose but not enforce national goals, targets and standards, which are generally beyond its jurisdiction.
Nevertheless, education has had a relatively consistent evolution throughout the United States. All countries historically made a distinction between the two K-12 educational genres and three K-12 school genres. Educational genres are primary and secondary; and the school genre is elementary school (primary school has a general term as well), high school or junior high school, and high school (historically, a "senior" secondary school to distinguish it from junior high school).
Basic education (or "primary school" meaning "basic education") still tends to focus on basic academic learning and socialization skills, introducing children to the knowledge, skills and adjustments of behavior they need to succeed in life - and, in particular, in high school. Secondary or high school education is always focused on preparing adolescents for higher education or for careers in industry, commerce or professions that do not require an academic degree.
Over the last few decades, schools in the United States have tested a variety of settings that split from one teacher, a one-class model. Multi-age programs, where children in different classes (eg kindergarten through second grade) share the same classes and teachers, are an increasingly popular alternative to traditional basic teaching. Another alternative is that children may have a major class and go to another teacher's room for one subject, such as science, while the main class of science teachers will go to another teacher's room for other subjects, such as social studies. This can be called as two teachers, or a rotation. This is similar to the team concept in junior high school. Another method is to have the children have a set of class teachers in the first half of the year, and a set of different classroom teachers in the second half of the year. Primary schools are also known as elementary schools.
43 from the state now use the General Core Standard that claims to better prepare students for college and career.

- First class (6-7 years)
- Second class (7-8 years)

Vietnamese
Children usually begin basic education by the age of six. Education at this level lasts for 5 years and is compulsory for all children. The literacy rate in the country is over 90%.
According to the Indicators Survey of Indicators of Two Indicators 2006 from the General Statistics Office of Vietnam, 96% of the six to 11 year olds are enrolled in primary school. However, there are still significant differences in the level of completion of basic education among different ethnic groups. While the primary completion rate for Kinh students is 86%, the rate for minority ethnic children is only 61%.
In the 2009-2010 school year, Vietnam has 15,172 primary schools and 611 primary and junior secondary schools combined. Total enrollment was 7.02 million students, of whom 46% were girls.
The renovated basic education curriculum in Vietnam is divided into two phases as follows:
- Phase 1 includes Class 1, 2 and 3 with 6 subjects: Vietnamese, Mathematics, Morality, Nature and Society, Art and Physical Education.
- Stage 2 includes Grades 4 and 5 with 9 subjects: Vietnamese, Mathematics, Morality, Science, History, Geography, Basic Engineering, Music, Art, and Physical Education.
