INTRODUCTION
Primary School is also called elementary school, children of age group four to eleven years
basically go to these schools (Binder and et. al., 2017). Students that have passed preschool go to
primary schools and after primary school comes secondary school. Going to primary school is
considered as basic right of student as all the development say social, cultural, cognitive and
emotional skills takes place in primary school. This is the most important part in student’s life,
hence parents should make research before deciding the school for their child as the future of that
individual depends on the primary school (Schendel and McCowan, 2016). In early time,
America’s education was dealt by local and state government (Bamber, 2016). In some of the
state the compulsory education was until 16 (Bedenlier, Kondakci and Zawacki-Richter, 2018),
so every state had own structure of compulsory education. K-12 structure is the bifurcation of
grade according to the age of the child.
Many schools are providing the facilities like day care for children, education and
development and so on, but a wise choice is essential because this the time that will not come
back and student is in learning phase a right direction at right time is important. It is easier to
build a good individual then to repair a broken one which means if a child is given proper
education from the starting then it is easier for the person to learn ahead and become successful
but if the education provided, is not up to the mark at initial and development level then the
person will face obstacles in future learning and in other phases of life. Different countries have
their own curriculum and ways of teaching. The purpose of primary education is to give
fundamental skills and knowledge to the students (Knight and De Wit, 2018). Basic subjects are
taught and the main focus is on overall development of the child and improving the
competencies that are required at higher phases of life and that are required after completion on
the elementary education. The main goal of providing quality primary education is to prepare the
kids with basics of main subjects. There the students are not only taught to study but how to
participate, develop interest and learn new things are also the part of primary education. Subjects
that are given importance at that time are reading, math, social studies, science, and physical
education with the motive to improve their thinking, reading and problem solving skills.
According to the populous USA is the third largest in the world having 327.7 million people
and it is the largest economy so that’s why it is called a developed nation (Bourn, Hunt and
Bamber, 2017). In the education system USA has second position in the higher education system.

Even after of this development situation of the country, USA faces many challenges because of
the rival countries such as India and China. China and India has the aim that they overtake the
economy of USA from the end of 2050. So it is very important for the USA that they have to
make their education system best so that they get best students that maintain the largest economy.
For this it is very essential for students that they have to understand the curriculum firstly.
Mastering in simple mathematical operations is essential for the higher studies and are given
more importance (Owens, 2017). Basically, this is the time when children learn to interact and
socialize and they learn this basically from teachers and children that there as well as from their
parents. The report is about the role of primary education and how it is important for later
learning. Also the education system is different in developing country like India and developed
countries like USA. The basic reason behind considering United States of America is that
education level of this nation is education market values approximately to USD 1,350 billion in
2017 and it is expected to reach around USD 2,040 billion by 2026. On the other hand, education
system of United States is expected to exhibit a CAGR of more than 4.5% between 2018 and
2026.Ttherefore, it can easily be said that this country’s education system has improved in
effective and in efficient ways. The discussion about the curriculum followed, the way teachers
are trained, and the standards of teaching and K-12 structure that is followed in USA is there.
Also how it is different from education system is India. Basically, the reason behind considering
both the United States and India’s education system is to compare and improve the existing
education system of India through considering education system of U.S. The history of primary
education in India, the curriculum followed, the focus on universal primary education and gender
equality.

Brief History of Primary Education
Education is need of society; it is the institution that provides productive and good members to
the society (Zaitseva and et. al., 2016). With the help of education members of the society gain

education is of two types informal and formal, both are necessary for the development of the
society or nation. However, without primary education it can be said that living standardisation
