Which type of school is funded by the government and free to attend?

• A. Private Schools
• B. Faith Schools
• C. Selective education
• D. State Schools

Answer: (D)

Think about who pays for the school and who can attend for free. State schools are funded by the government through taxes and are free for students to attend at the point of use. They’re typically governed by local authorities and follow a national curriculum. Private schools, by contrast, rely on fees paid by families or private funds. While some faith schools can be state‑funded, the clear match to “funded by the government and free to attend” is state schools. Selective education describes admission policies, not who pays or whether attendance is free.
