What do primary schools do?
Primary schools cover the first stage of compulsory education, usually with one class teacher per group and specialist teachers for languages, music or sport. Municipalities, churches and private foundations run them under national curricula, and families choose a school near home.
Our data comes from the business registers of 36 European countries. SIC has no code of its own for primary schools: they sit in SIC code 8211 (elementary and secondary schools), so within that we select them on the CompanyData industry label for primary schools. In NACE, the European code those registers use, 100,325 of them (100%) sit in class 85.20 (primary education), part of division 85 (education).
