We have a public school system. You can also opt for private schools, which are usually Catholic or other religion-run. The schools are shifting more and more cost to the parents. Kids used to be sent home with a list for about $50 worth of books and pencils to show up with. Now they recommend the kids have laptops n shit. But school is still free. You can apply for subsidies if you're of low income levels.
