school systems
Public education structures
School systems are the organized structures through which education is delivered in a region—typically including schools, administrators, curricula, and policies operating under a unified governance.
In the US, school systems usually refer to public school districts: The Chicago school system serves over 300,000 students.
The term can also describe national educational frameworks: Finland's school system is often held up as a model.
