Education in the United States is for the most part provided publicly, funded and overseen by State and local governments. Education is exclusively within State jurisdiction and the curriculum is overseen by the State. Education in the United States is generally divided into primary education, followed by secondary education and post-secondary. Within the States, under their departments of education there are district school boards administering the educational programs. Education is compulsory up to the age of 16 in every State, or as soon as a high school diploma has been achieved. In some States early leaving exemptions can be granted under certain circumstances at 14. Each State generally has 180 school days in the year, officially starting from August (usually the third Monday in August) to the end of May (usually the second Friday of the month).
