public schooling
Government-funded learning
Public schooling is education provided by government-funded institutions, free at the point of use and open to all children in a district.
In American usage, public schools are state-run; in British usage, confusingly, "public school" means elite private boarding schools like Eton.
Public schooling is mandatory until age sixteen in most states.
