Welcome to Wikiversity's Primary Education Portal, an entry-point for Wikiversity's primary education content.
Wikiversity is the Wikimedia Foundation's project which specifically aims to collect and share open educational resources. Wikiversity aims to be a critical global player in the use of the internet and information technologies to improve global education. We provide equally for all ages and stages of education and view primary education as a key component of our mission. Through the creation of this portal dedicated to primary education, we hope to encourage growth of our resource collection in this area. If you are a primary school educator (or parent) and need any help with the use of Wikiversity, or with modifying Wikiversity to make it a more primary-friendly environment, please feel welcome to ask.
Primary education is also known as elementary education. The transition from primary to secondary education varies widely internationally, and averages at about 11 to 12 years of age.

In general, paintings prior to the 20th century are in the public domain due to expiration of copyright, which means you can use images of them freely in educational materials. For works of art created in the 20th century, normally you cannot reuse any copies. Click on the image for a full size version which you can freely re-use and modify.
