Public schooling

Public schooling refers to the education system funded and operated by government entities, primarily to provide free education to children. It typically includes elementary, middle, and high schools, where students receive instruction in a wide range of subjects. Public schools aim to provide equitable access to education for all students, regardless of their background. Teachers are usually required to hold certifications, and the curriculum is often determined by state education departments. Public schooling is designed to promote social integration and prepare students for future responsibilities in society. It plays a crucial role in shaping an educated citizenry.
