The concept of grouping students together in a centralized location for learning has existed since Classical antiquity.
Formal schools have existed at least since ancient Greece, ancient India and ancient China .The Byzantine Empire had an
established schooling system beginning at the primary level. According to Traditions and Encounters ,”…the founding of
the primary education system began in 425A.D…” and “…military personnel usually had at least a primary
education…”.The Byzantine education system continued until the empire’s collapse in 1453 A.D.
Islam is another culture to develop a schooling system in the modern sense of the word. Emphasis was put on
knowledge and therefore a systematic way of teaching and spreading knowledge in purpose built structures .At first
,mosques combined both religious performance and learning activities , but by the ninth century , the Madrassa was
introduced , a proper school built independently from the mosque .They were also the first to make the Madrassa system
a public domain under the control of the caliph.

America is the land of educational opportunity. We have public schools, private schools, charter schools, and home
schools. As of 2003, there were approximately 50 million students attending kindergarten through twelfth grade in the United
States. More than 86% of them attended public and charter schools, 11% attended private schools, and just over 2%
percent were home educated.
One issue in public school choice is equal access to a high quality education. Public schools are responsible for
providing an education for America's children. Local municipalities, states, and the federal government collect taxes to pay
for our public education system.
In some states, parents have no choice regarding which public school their child attends. The cities and towns are
divided into districts. Children are assigned to the school in the district where they live. Other states use an open enrollment
policy. This allows parents to choose the public school they want their child to attend.
