The California Education System is a comprehensive network that includes public and private schools, colleges, and universities. It serves millions of students from kindergarten through higher education. The system is divided into three main levels: elementary, secondary, and post-secondary education, with a focus on providing quality education to all students. Public education in California is primarily funded by state and local taxes, and it is overseen by the California Department of Education. The state has a diverse range of educational institutions, including the University of California and California State University systems, which offer various degree programs and vocational training opportunities.
