Primary education provides students with a basic understanding of various subjects as well as the skills they will use throughout their lives.
Schools offering Elementary Education degrees can also be found in these popular choices.

Primary Education Basics
Every state government in Nigeria regulates primary education.
According to the Nigerian Department of Education.
Some states also supervise the curriculum, processes and standards of elementary schools.
To ensure students receive a quality education regardless of the school they attend.
Most states require children to receive a primary education to learn basic concepts.
According to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), providing children with this education has many positive effects, including:
- Decreasing poverty
- Decreasing child mortality rates
- Encouraging gender equality

Primary education is designed to meet the basic learning needs of students.
In doing so, it is also intended to prepare students to benefit from secondary education.
In keeping with this broad aim, primary education is geared towards enabling students to develop essential learning skills and providing them with basic learning content.
The Primary tier of the education system caters largely to students aged five to twelve (5-12).
A system of ‘automatic promotion’ sees students moving irrespective of ability from primary to secondary school upon attaining the age of twelve.

In primary school, education is presented at three levels. These are:
- Infants: The Infant Department comprises Kindergarten (K) and Grades 1 and 2
- Lower Primary the Lower Primary consists of Grades 3 and 4
- Upper Primary, which includes Grades 5 and 6.
Progression through classes is automatic and on an age basis.
A formal assessment strategy, known as the ‘test of standards’ is administered to all students of grades three through six each year, and is written simultaneously at all primary schools, and private schools.
The results of this test for grade six students are used almost exclusively as the yardstick by which to measure students’ ability to perform at the secondary level, and accordingly, to place students in the first form of the secondary school.
It is expected at the end of the primary phase of education that students would have acquired skills in literacy, oral expression, numeracy and problem solving for the next phase of their education.

The level of content gained should also equip them with the requisite knowledge, values and attitudes for secondary education.
At the primary level, there are specific objectives and teaching requirements to facilitate the accomplishment of the broad aim of primary education.
One objective centers around the need for primary schools to work in partnership with the home and the community.
