Anemia is one of health problems that often found in the world, especially in a developing country. Primary school age children(6-12 years) are vulnerable to iron deficiency anemia due to iron requirements during this period increase along with the rapid growth of the tissue and an increase of red blood cell mass. In Indonesia there aretwo systems ofeducationforprimary schoolchildren, the full dayandnon full day system. Students who stay longerinschool canlead to fatigue, which is the cause ofanemia.

Result : The resuls showed that differences in haemoglobin levels in primary school students between full day and non full day education obtained significance value of 0.000 ( p < 0.05 ) . These results indicate that there are differences in hemoglobin levels.
Conclusion :There are differences in hemoglobin levels in primary school students between full day and non full day education.
