The purpose of this research is to seek the opinions of primary school teachers in order to investigate the pedagogical conditions for the development of educational independence of primary school students. The research was prepared in accordance with the qualitative research method. Research data were collected with a semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers. The participant group of the research consists of 80 primary school teachers working in various primary schools in Kazakhstan in the 2021–2022 academic year. As a result of the research, it was revealed that the majority of primary school teachers found students’ independent learning skills partially sufficient. Primary school teachers determined the role of families in the development of students’ independent learning skills as encouraging role, directing role, participation role and modelling role. Primary school teachers determined the role of teachers in the development of students’ independent learning skills as the role of providing independent learning skills, the role of developing independent learning skills, the role of approaching the right method, the role of supporting independent learning with in-class activities and the role of implementing technology-supported activities. Primary school teachers’ suggestions for the development of pedagogical conditions for students to gain independent learning skills are divided into five categories, i.e., creating a suitable school environment, creating a suitable classroom environment, teacher–parent cooperation, organising in-service trainings for teachers and organising seminars for families.
