Primary (Pratom Suksa)
Primary education in Thailand begins at the age of six (after up to three years of non-compulsory preschool), and constitutes the first six years of basic education. Learning time at the primary level cannot exceed five hours a day.
The curriculum is focused in eight core learning areas: Basic skills (Thai and math), life experience (science and social studies), character development (ethics, arts, music and PE), work education (technology & basic vocational skills), special education (English or other subjects tailored to local community needs.) English is taught nationwide from the first year of primary school.
There is a final examination at the end of Prathon VI, which leads to the Certificate of Primary Education
