We generally have 12 grades of public education followed by 4-8 years of private education. It occupies the daily time of our citizens until their mid-twenties, where they mostly sit motionless, watch teachers talk, and are tested on their ability to repeat back and make a little use of what they are told. It's cast as a counterpoint to a 'lack of education' where people are isolated from each other and don't learn much of anything at all aside from what the mass media relays to them.
