A state school, public school, or government school is a primary or secondary school that educates all students without charge. Such schools are funded in whole or in part by taxation and operated by the government of the state.
State-funded schools exist in virtually every country of the world, though there are significant variations in their structure and educational programmes. Government funded education generally encompasses primary and secondary education (4 years old to 18 years old).
