state-funded education
Government-supported learning
State-funded education is schooling paid for by government rather than private tuition—public schools in American usage, state schools in British.
The term often appears in policy debates about educational access, quality, and the role of government: State-funded education should be available to all children regardless of income.
It contrasts with private or parochial schooling.
