What is "compulsory education"?
Compulsory education refers to a legal requirement for children to attend school for a certain period, typically from a young age until they reach a specific age or educational level. The aim of compulsory education is to ensure that all children receive a basic education, regardless of their background or economic status. This education is usually provided free or at a low cost by the government. Compulsory education helps promote equal opportunities for all children and contributes to their social, intellectual, and personal development, preparing them for active participation in society.
