Scottish Schools are part of the education system in Scotland, providing education for children from ages 5 to 18. The system is divided into primary schools, which cater to ages 5 to 12, and secondary schools, which serve students from ages 12 to 18. Education is compulsory until the age of 16, and students typically take National Qualifications during their final years. In Scotland, schools are funded by the government and are free for residents. The curriculum includes a wide range of subjects, including English, Math, and Sciences, as well as opportunities for physical education and the arts.
