According to the announcement, “children usually enter primary education programs (classified as ISCED level 1) between the ages of 5 and 7”. These programs are designed to provide them with a solid foundation in reading, writing, and math, as well as a basic understanding of other subjects such as history, geography, natural and social sciences, art, and music.
