These are officially called public schools according to the South African Schools Act of 1996, but it is a term that is not used colloquially. The Act recognised two categories of schools: public and independent. <a href="/wiki/Independent_school" class="mw-redirect" title="Independent school">Independent schools</a> include all private schools and schools that are privately governed. Independent schools with low tuition fees are state-aided and receive a subsidy on a sliding-scale. Traditional private schools that charge high fees receive no state subsidy. State schools are all state-owned, including section 21 schools, formerly referred to as "model C" or semi-private schools, that have a governing body and a degree of budget autonomy, as these are still fully owned and accountable to the state. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Americas">Americas</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=State_school&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Americas"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Canada">Canada</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=State_school&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Canada"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Education_in_Canada" title="Education in Canada">Education in Canada</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Old_Scona_Exterior.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/22/Old_Scona_Exterior.jpg/220px-Old_Scona_Exterior.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/22/Old_Scona_Exterior.jpg/330px-Old_Scona_Exterior.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/22/Old_Scona_Exterior.jpg/440px-Old_Scona_Exterior.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2592" data-file-height="1944" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Old_Scona_Academic_High_School" title="Old Scona Academic High School">Old Scona High School</a> in <a href="/wiki/Edmonton" title="Edmonton">Edmonton</a>, Alberta</figcaption></figure> <p>Under the <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_Canada" title="Constitution of Canada">Canadian constitution</a>, public-school education in <a href="/wiki/Canada" title="Canada">Canada</a> is a provincial responsibility and, as such, there are many variations among the provinces.

Starting at grade one, at about age six, there is universal Crown-funded access up to grade twelve, or the equivalent. Schools are generally divided into elementary schools (kindergarten to Grade 8) and high schools (Grades 9 to 12). </p><p>However, in many areas, <a href="/wiki/Middle_school#Canada" title="Middle school">middle schools</a> are also provided and in some schools, particularly in rural areas, the elementary and middle levels can be combined into one school. In 2003, Grade 13, also known as the Ontario Academic Credit or "OAC" year, was eliminated in Ontario; it had previously been required only for students who intended to go on to university. Children are required to attend school until the age of sixteen in most provinces, while students in Ontario and <a href="/wiki/New_Brunswick" title="New Brunswick">New Brunswick</a> must attend schools until the age of 18. </p><p>Some Canadian provinces offer segregated-by-religious-choice, but nonetheless Crown-funded and Crown-regulated, religiously based education. In Ontario, for example, Roman Catholic schools are known as "Catholic Schools" or "Separate Schools", not "Public Schools", although these are, by definition, no less "public" than their secular counterparts. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Latin_America">Latin America</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=State_school&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Latin America"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Education_in_Latin_America" title="Education in Latin America">Education in Latin America</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Colegio_Nacional_Bragado.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6a/Colegio_Nacional_Bragado.jpg/220px-Colegio_Nacional_Bragado.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6a/Colegio_Nacional_Bragado.jpg/330px-Colegio_Nacional_Bragado.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6a/Colegio_Nacional_Bragado.jpg/440px-Colegio_Nacional_Bragado.jpg 2x" data-file-width="800" data-file-height="533" /></a><figcaption>A secondary school in <a href="/wiki/Bragado" title="Bragado">Bragado</a>, Argentina</figcaption></figure> <p>In some countries, such as <a href="/wiki/Brazil" title="Brazil">Brazil</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mexico" title="Mexico">Mexico</a>, the term public schools (<span title="Spanish-language text"><i lang="es">escuelas públicas</i></span> in <a href="/wiki/Spanish_language" title="Spanish language">Spanish</a>, <span title="Portuguese-language text"><i lang="pt">escolas públicas</i></span> in <a href="/wiki/Portuguese_language" title="Portuguese language">Portuguese</a>) is used for educational institutions owned by the federal, state, or city governments which do not charge tuition.

Instead, the term "public school" is used for elementary, middle, and high schools funded or run by a governmental entity. Private school generally refers to primary, secondary and tertiary educational institutions that are not government-owned. </p><p>Elementary, middle, and high schools that are operated by a religious organization are commonly called <a href="/wiki/Parochial_school" title="Parochial school">parochial schools</a>, though, in practice, the term is generally used to refer only to schools operated by the <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Church_in_the_United_States" title="Catholic Church in the United States">Catholic Church</a> or mainline denominations; the term "Christian school" is generally used to refer to schools operated by Evangelical, Pentecostal, Charismatic, or fundamentalist <a href="/wiki/Christianity" title="Christianity">Christian</a> churches. </p><p>The role of the <a href="/wiki/Federal_government_of_the_United_States" title="Federal government of the United States">U.S. federal government</a> in education is limited and indirect. Direct control of education is a power reserved to the states under the <a href="/wiki/Tenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution" title="Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution">Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution</a> because the <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_the_United_States" title="Constitution of the United States">U.S. Constitution</a> does not explicitly or implicitly give the federal government authority to regulate education. However, any public or private school that accepts educational funding from the federal government, including participation in collegiate federal financial aid programs such as <a href="/wiki/Pell_Grant" title="Pell Grant">Pell Grants</a> and <a href="/wiki/Stafford_Loan" title="Stafford Loan">Stafford Loans</a> by accepting the funds or participating in a particular federal program, is subject to federal jurisdiction as a result of that participation. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Education" title="United States Department of Education">U.S. Department of Education</a>, based in <a href="/wiki/Washington,_D.C." title="Washington, D.C.">Washington, D.C.</a>, supervises the role of the federal government in education. Direct regulation of public, private, and parochial schools is done by state and territorial governments; schools in Washington, D.C., are regulated by the <a href="/wiki/Government_of_the_District_of_Columbia" title="Government of the District of Columbia">Government of the District of Columbia</a>. Regulation of public schools is typically accomplished through a <a href="/wiki/State_education_agency" title="State education agency">state education agency</a> and a state department of education. There is usually a <a href="/wiki/Superintendent_(education)" title="Superintendent (education)">state superintendent of schools</a>, who is appointed or elected to co-ordinate the state department of education, the state board of education, and the state legislature. Statewide education policies are disseminated to <a href="/wiki/School_district" title="School district">school districts</a> or their equivalents. They are associated with counties, or with groups of counties, but their boundaries are not necessarily coterminous with county boundaries. The intermediate school districts encompass many local school districts. Local school districts operate with their own local boards, which oversee operations of the individual schools within their jurisdiction. </p><p>In most states, the county or regional intermediate school districts merely implement state education policy and provide the channels through which a local district communicates with a state board of education, state superintendent, and department of education. They do not establish county or regional policies of their own. </p><p>Local school districts are administered by local <a href="/wiki/Board_of_education" title="Board of education">school boards</a>, which operate public <a href="/wiki/Elementary_school" class="mw-redirect" title="Elementary school">elementary</a> and <a href="/wiki/Secondary_school" title="Secondary school">high schools</a> within their boundaries. Public schools are often funded by local taxpayers, and most school boards are elected. However, some states have adopted new funding models that are not dependent upon the local economy. </p><p>Public schools are provided mainly by local governments. Curricula, funding, teaching, and other policies are set through locally elected school boards by jurisdiction over school districts. The school districts are <a href="/wiki/Special_district_(United_States)" title="Special district (United States)">special-purpose districts</a> authorised by provisions of state law. Generally, state governments set minimum standards relating to almost all activities of elementary and high schools, as well as funding and authorisation to enact local school taxes to support the schools, primarily through real property taxes. The federal government funds aid to states and school districts that meet minimum federal standards. School accreditation decisions are made by voluntary regional associations.

The middle school format is increasingly common in which the elementary school contains kindergarten or 1st grade to 5th or 6th grade and the middle School contains 6th or 7th and 8th grade. In addition, some elementary schools are splitting into two levels, sometimes in separate buildings: elementary school (usually K–2) and intermediate (3–5). Some middle schools are different. </p><p>The K–8 format is also an emerging popular concept in which students may attend only two schools for all of their K–12 education. Many <a href="/wiki/Charter_school" title="Charter school">charter schools</a> feature the K-8 format in which all elementary grades are housed in one section of the school, and the traditional junior high school students are housed in another section of the school. Some very small school districts, primarily in rural areas, still maintain a K–12 system in which all students are housed in a single school. A few 7–12 schools also exist. </p><p>In the United States, institutions of <a href="/wiki/Higher_education" class="mw-redirect" title="Higher education">higher education</a> that are operated and subsidised by the <a href="/wiki/U.S._state" title="U.S. state">states</a> are also referred to as "public".

These municipal kindergartens are financed by taxes and progressive income-based customer fees, but are not considered part of the public school system. </p><p>A German public school does not charge tuition fees.

Swedes study at high school for three years, between the ages of 16 and 18. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Scotland">Scotland</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=State_school&action=edit&section=31" title="Edit section: Scotland"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Education_in_Scotland" title="Education in Scotland">Education in Scotland</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Former_Mearns_St_School_-_geograph.org.uk_-_608264.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/Former_Mearns_St_School_-_geograph.org.uk_-_608264.jpg/220px-Former_Mearns_St_School_-_geograph.org.uk_-_608264.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="179" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/Former_Mearns_St_School_-_geograph.org.uk_-_608264.jpg/330px-Former_Mearns_St_School_-_geograph.org.uk_-_608264.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/Former_Mearns_St_School_-_geograph.org.uk_-_608264.jpg/440px-Former_Mearns_St_School_-_geograph.org.uk_-_608264.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="521" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Pediment" title="Pediment">Pediment</a> above entrance showing name of Mearns Street Public School in <a href="/wiki/Greenock" title="Greenock">Greenock</a>, Scotland</figcaption></figure> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Church_of_Scotland" title="Church of Scotland">Church of Scotland</a> was established in 1560, during the <a href="/wiki/Reformation" title="Reformation">Protestant Reformation</a> period as the official state religion in <a href="/wiki/Scotland" title="Scotland">Scotland</a>, and in the following year it set out to provide a school in every <a href="/wiki/Parish" title="Parish">parish</a> controlled by the local kirk-session, with education to be provided free to the poor, and the expectation that church pressure would ensure that all children took part. In the year of 1633 the <a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_Scotland" title="Parliament of Scotland">Parliament of Scotland</a> introduced local taxation to fund this provision. Schooling was not free, but the tax support kept fees low, and the church and charity funded poorer students. This had considerable success, but by the late 18th century the physical extent of some parishes and population growth in others led to an increasing role for "adventure schools" funded from fees and for schools funded by religious charities, initially <a href="/wiki/Protestantism" title="Protestantism">Protestant</a> and later <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Church" title="Catholic Church">Roman Catholic</a>. </p><p>In 1872, education for all children aged 5 to 13 was made compulsory with "public schools" (in the Scots meaning of schools for the general public) under local school boards. The leaving age was raised to 14 in 1883, and the Leaving Certificate Examination was introduced in 1888 to set national standards for secondary education. School fees were ended in 1890. The <a href="/wiki/Scottish_Education_Department" class="mw-redirect" title="Scottish Education Department">Scottish Education Department</a> ran the system centrally, with <a href="/wiki/Local_authority" class="mw-redirect" title="Local authority">local authorities</a> running the schools with considerable autonomy. In 1999, following devolution from the <a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Parliament of the United Kingdom">Parliament of the United Kingdom</a> to the new <a href="/wiki/Scottish_Parliament" title="Scottish Parliament">Scottish Parliament</a>, central organisation of education was taken over by departments of the <a href="/wiki/Scottish_Executive" class="mw-redirect" title="Scottish Executive">Scottish Executive</a>, with running the schools coming under <a href="/wiki/Subdivisions_of_Scotland" title="Subdivisions of Scotland">unitary authority districts.</a> </p><p>In Scotland, the term public school, in official use since 1872, traditionally means "a state-controlled school run by the local burgh or county education authority, generally non-fee-paying and supported by contributions from local and national taxation".<sup id="cite_ref-Scottish_National_Dictionary_26-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Scottish_National_Dictionary-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Largely due to the earlier introduction of state-administered universal education in Scotland and opposed to the rest of the United Kingdom, the term became associated with state schools. The designation was incorporated into the name of many of these older publicly run institutions. </p><p>Children in Scottish state schools (or public schools) typically start <a href="/wiki/Primary_school" title="Primary school">primary school</a>, or attend a junior school, aged between four and a half and five and a half depending on when the child's birthday falls. Children born between March and August would start school at the age of five years and those born between September and February start school at age four-and-a-half. Pupils remain at primary school for seven years completing Primary One to Seven. </p><p>Then aged eleven or twelve, pupils start <a href="/wiki/Secondary_school" title="Secondary school">secondary school</a> for a compulsory period of four years, with a final two years thereafter being optional. Pupils take <a href="/wiki/Curriculum_for_Excellence" title="Curriculum for Excellence">National 4 & 5</a> examinations at the age of fifteen/sixteen, sometimes earlier, most often for up to eight subjects. These include compulsory exams in English, <a href="/wiki/Mathematics" title="Mathematics">mathematics</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Foreign_language" title="Foreign language">foreign language</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Science" title="Science">science</a> subject and a social subject. It is now a requirement of the Scottish Government that all pupils have two hours of physical education a week. Each school may arrange these compulsory requirements in different combinations. The minimum school leaving age is generally sixteen, after completion of Standard Grade examinations. Pupils who continue their school education after the age of sixteen, may choose to study for <a href="/wiki/Scottish_Qualifications_Authority#National_Qualifications" title="Scottish Qualifications Authority">Access</a>, <a href="/wiki/Intermediate_1" title="Intermediate 1">Intermediate</a> or <a href="/wiki/Higher_(Scottish)" title="Higher (Scottish)">Higher Grade</a> and <a href="/wiki/Advanced_Higher" title="Advanced Higher">Advanced Higher</a> exams.
