Primary education and curriculum are of utmost importance because throughout this time, which begins at roughly age 5 and lasts until 10 or 11 years old, the child learns and develops values, habits, the ability to differentiate, and attitudes that will benefit them throughout their life. This first level is crucial for those as well who, for whatever reason, are unable to pursue further education. The curriculum usually needs to be adapted to reflect the requirements, demands, and values of society. Implementing curriculum in accordance with societal needs will enrich education, whilst failing to do so could have catastrophic effects on education with regards to economic development.
