    1st YB Unit 1 review

    The American education system is unlike that in many other countries. Education is

    primarily the responsibility of state and local government, and so there is little standardization

    in the curriculum, for example. The individual states have great control over what is taught in

    their schools and over the requirements that a student must meet, and they are also responsible

    for the funding of schooling. Therefore, there is huge variation regarding courses, subjects,

    and other activities – it always depends on where the school is located. Still, there are some

    common points, as e.g. the division of the education system into three levels: primary

    education, secondary education, and postsecondary/higher education (college or university).

    Formal schooling lasts 12 years, until around age 18. Compulsory schooling, though, ends

    by age 16 in most states; the remaining states require students to attend school until they are

    17 or 18. All children in the United States have access to free public schools. Private schools

    (religious and non-sectarian) are available, but students must pay tuition to attend them.
