The main difference between United states and Sri Lanka is that children attend five or six years in primary school and there is no scholarship exam whereas Primary education lasts five years from Grade 1 to Grade 5 in Sri Lanka and at the end of this primary school, the students may elect to write a national exam called the Scholarship exam which allow them to go to the Secondary school for further education. The primary education system of Pakistan resembles to United states of America having five years and no scholarship exam. Deficiency of trained teaching staff, and weak parent teacher relationship are the major reasons of dropouts in Pakistan.
