Answer to Question 2

No, schooling is not equally available to all children around the world. In some countries, K12 education is free and access to education is provided by governments. But other countries use markets to distribute access by charging school fees that limit access for the poor. Some countries require children to attend school and enforce this requirement, while others forbid certain children (for example, girls in Afghanistan) to attend for cultural reasons. In the United States and other affluent countries, free public schooling is available to all and children are required to attend school, usually until they are 15 or older, unless they are home-schooled, privately tutored, or otherwise educated. However, in some less wealthy countries, governments have chosen to spend some of their education money on developing universities instead of providing universal primary education. Some countries may have schools but no books or laboratories, and not all teachers may be trained. Consequently, around the world, access to education varies widely, with sometimes large differences by gender, class, and race.
