School life education began in the lower primary stage and ended at the levelof college. But for lower primary students,life education focuses on the training of students’safety awareness and good study habits, it rarely involves the meaning of life perception.So, itcan not be called life education in the strict sense. And life education on upper primary isrelated to the self and others, which is dominated by the regularity of individual physicaldevelopment.So life education in the strict sense is on the upper primary. Only if it begins onthe upper primary stage, life education on all ages will seem significant and complete.At present, the theory and practice of life education is mostly conducted from theperspective of education, and it has made some achievements. But most life educationconduct from moral lessons, classes will, infiltration and other forms. It has not formed acomplete life teaching system.
