Education :
Education is the
learning of knowledge, information and skills during the course of
life. Teachers may draw on many subjects, including reading,
writing, math, science and history. Teachers in specialized
professions such as astrophysics, law, or zoology may teach only a
certain subject, usually as professors at institutions of higher
learning. There is much specialist instruction in fields for those
who want specific skills, such as required to be a pilot, for
example. Finally, there is an array of educational opportunity at
the informal level- such as with museums, libraries and the
Internet. Informal education also includes knowledge and skills
learned during the course of life, including education that comes
from experience.
Primary
education :
Primary (or
elementary) education consists of the first years of formal,
structured education. In general, primary education consists of six
or seven years of schooling starting at the age of 5 or 6, although
this varies between, and sometimes within, countries. Globally,
around 70% of primary-age children are enrolled in primary
education, and this proportion is rising.Under the Education for All
programs driven by UNESCO, most countries have committed to
achieving universal enrollment in primary education by 2015, and in
many countries, it is compulsory for children to receive primary
education. The division between primary and secondary education is
somewhat arbitrary, but it generally occurs at about eleven or
twelve years of age. Some education systems have separate middle
schools, with the transition to the final stage of secondary
education taking place at around the age of fourteen. Schools that
provide primary education, are mostly referred to as primary
schools. Primary schools in these countries are often subdivided
into infant schools and junior schools.

Secondary
education :
In most
contemporary educational systems of the world, secondary education
consists of the second years of formal education that occur during
adolescence.It is characterised by transition from the typically
compulsory, comprehensive primary education for minors, to the
optional, selective tertiary, "post-secondary", or "higher"
education (e.g., university, vocational school) for adults.Depending
on the system, schools for this period, or a part of it, may be
called secondary or high schools, gymnasiums, lyceums, middle
schools, colleges, or vocational schools. The exact meaning of any
of these terms varies from one system to another. The exact boundary
between primary and secondary education also varies from country to
country and even within them, but is generally around the seventh to
the tenth year of schooling. Secondary education occurs mainly
during the teenage years. In the United States and Canada primary
and secondary education together are sometimes referred to as K-12
education, and in New Zealand Year 1-13 is used. The purpose of
secondary education can be to give common knowledge, to prepare for
higher education or to train directly in a profession.
