public-school
Free government-run schooling
Public-school describes something related to public schools—government-funded schools open to all children in a district: public-school teachers, the public-school system.
In British usage, confusingly, a public school is an elite private boarding school like Eton or Harrow, so public-school accent in British English suggests aristocratic speech.
