Welcome to Wikiversity's Primary Education
Portal, an entry-point for Wikiversity's primary education
content.
Wikiversity is the Wikimedia Foundation's project which
specifically aims to collect and share open educational resources.
Wikiversity aims to be a critical global player in the use of the
internet and information technologies to improve global education.
We provide equally for all ages and stages of education and view
primary education as a key component of our mission. Through the
creation of this portal dedicated to primary education, we hope to
encourage growth of our resource collection in this area. If you
are a primary school educator (or parent) and need any help with
the use of Wikiversity, or with modifying Wikiversity to make it a
more primary-friendly environment, please feel welcome to ask.
Primary education is also known as elementary
education. The transition from primary to secondary education
varies widely internationally, and averages at about 11 to 12 years
of age.
