Pre-school education aims to help pupils in preparing their basic mental, intellectual, skill, and creativity in adjusting to the environment and to prepare their future growth. Pre-school education is carried out through nurseries and kindergartens for children under five and six, organized mostly by private foundations and non-government organizations including women’s organizations. In fiscal year 1997/98, new state kindergartens, and 138 classrooms have been established, and 29 kindergartens had been rehabilitated.

Meanwhile, primary schools aim to give basic education to children aged between six to 12 or between seven to 13, so that they will be able to develop their life as an individual, community member, citizen, and as member of mankind; while preparing the children for education at a higher level in secondary schools.

To educate as many children as possible, since 1973 the Government have set up new primary school buildings through the Presidential Assistance program (Inpres SD). Consequently education participation figures rose from 112.4% in fiscal year 1996/97 to 113.6% in fiscal year 1997/98. However, about 5.1% children aged between 7 to 12 still can not attend school due to financial reasons and living in remote areas. In addition, many physically and mentally handicapped children are not able to attend school because there are not enough schools for them to prevent more drop outs and bad nutrients which can hold back a class of healthy children, the Government has developed a program for extra food for pupils. The Government also grants scholarships to intelligent students particularly those from low-income families. To improve the quality of primary education, more textbooks and visual aid instruments have also been distributed.
