Ordinary primary schools belong to ordinary public primary schools and recruit students for the whole society. In fact, ordinary schools and affiliated schools are basically the same, and the use of teaching materials, teaching methods and teaching equipment are basically the same model, but it is also an indisputable fact that the teaching staff is relatively weak.

An affiliated primary school is a school affiliated to a certain unit. Generally, it is a superior-subordinate relationship with this affiliated unit. Mainly take the children of employees of this unit as their students, but also accept children from society. It has certain independence, and its teaching should also be managed by the Education Commission. The influence of some primary schools affiliated to well-known universities far exceeds that of ordinary primary schools, and the enrollment scope is limited, which makes it difficult for ordinary children to enter.

The affiliated primary school is a product left over from history, and it is an internal school set up to solve the educational problems of the children of school employees or builders.
