K-12 Education Systems

K-12 education systems refer to the structured learning framework that includes kindergarten through 12th grade, covering the foundational years of formal education. It is designed to develop students' skills, knowledge, and critical thinking across subjects like math, science, language arts, and social studies. The system varies in curriculum and implementation across regions but generally aims to prepare students for higher education, careers, and responsible citizenship. It includes primary (elementary), middle, and high school levels, with assessments, graduation requirements, and sometimes specialized tracks to support diverse student needs.
