When talking about a child’s education, we come to see that there are 3 separate levels of this journey. It begins through pre-primary school, then moves onto primary education and finally secondary education; before the child makes their way into the real world. Hence, considering this process, each schooling system in each phase of this journey, has a purpose of its own to play in a child’s life.

It teaches them to grow from a child too young adults who are ready to succeed in life and tackle any worldly problems that come their way.

Once an individual reaches the age of young adolescence, their minds start to grow leaps and bounds and they start to analyze things, observe them better.

As progression dictates, secondary school soon comes into play, a space to explore their minds and to question ideas. As observed, these experiences then translate to situations faced in the outside world. And institutions put at the student’s disposal, a safe place within which they may explore.
