Children's education in Italy is normally divided into three separate stages. They begin with primary education at the age of six and this usually lasts until they are eleven. Then they move to middle high school when they are eleven and ends when students are fourteen.Finally, the last school is secondary high education.The students, when begin,are fourteen yars old and when they end,are eighteen.
 
Primary schools (6 - 11 year olds)                                                                                                    In Italy, the first level of education is known as primary education. These are almost always mixed sex, and usually located close to the child's home. Children tend to be with the same group throughout the day, and one teacher has responsibility for most of the work they do. Parents are strongly encouraged to help their children, particularly with reading and writing, and small amounts of homework are set to all children, even during the early years at school.
Secondary schools (11 - 14 year olds)                                                                   Most children transfer at the age of 11 . A place has to be offered at the parents' preferred school unless the school has more applicants than places; in that case it will admit the children who have the highest priority under its published admission arrangements which can vary a little in different places.Most secondary schools cater for both sexes. They tend to be much larger than primary schools.
