NACE v2.1 Code: Q85.20

About primary education

NACE code 85.20 covers the primary education industry, which plays a vital role in the development and growth of societies worldwide. This sector is responsible for providing foundational learning to children, laying the groundwork for their future academic and personal success. As a key component of the broader education system, primary education is essential for equipping individuals with the necessary skills, knowledge, and values to become productive members of their communities.

Production process

The primary education industry utilizes a range of teaching methods and techniques to deliver its services. This includes traditional classroom-based instruction, as well as more interactive and technology-enabled approaches, such as project-based learning, collaborative group work, and the integration of digital resources. Educators within this industry are trained to create engaging and age-appropriate curricula that cater to the diverse needs and learning styles of their students.

Production inputs

The primary education industry requires a variety of inputs to function effectively. These include qualified and experienced teaching staff, educational facilities (such as schools and classrooms), learning materials (textbooks, stationery, and educational technology), and a supportive infrastructure (including administrative staff and educational policies). Governments, private organizations, and local communities often play a crucial role in providing the necessary resources and funding to sustain the primary education sector.

Production outputs

The primary education industry produces a range of outputs that benefit both individuals and society as a whole. Its primary output is the education and development of children, equipping them with the foundational skills and knowledge necessary for further academic and personal growth. This, in turn, supports the development of a more educated and skilled workforce, which can contribute to the economic and social progress of a region. The outputs of primary education also feed into other NACE codes, such as 85.31 Secondary education and 85.41 Post-secondary non-tertiary education.
