Compulsory Schooling
Compulsory schooling refers to laws that require children to attend school for a certain number of years. These laws are designed to ensure that all children receive a basic education, which is essential for their personal development and future opportunities. The age at which children must start and stop attending school varies by country and region.
In many places, compulsory schooling begins around age 5 or 6 and continues until age 16 or 18. This system aims to reduce illiteracy and promote equal access to education, helping to prepare students for the workforce and responsible citizenship in society.
