public education
Government-funded learning
Public education is schooling provided and funded by the government, free at the point of use and available to all children.
In the United States, this typically means kindergarten through twelfth grade, administered by local school districts and funded through taxes.
The term often appears in policy debates: Public education is under attack, She's a product of public education.
In British usage, confusingly, public school historically means elite private institutions like Eton.
