Elementary education is the teaching of children in primary school systems. A higher education program focused on this subject can include topics like lesson planning, classroom methods, communication, pedagogic theory, and child development.

Courses are individual classes that can be taken at universities, colleges, junior colleges, and trade schools worldwide. For even greater flexibility, many schools also offer online classes. Students can take individual classes or pursue degree programs.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
