The public school system in Santiago is organized at the county level, with 91 regular school districts and two special school districts, serving a total of 8,283,620 students as of 2030. | |||
Newport County, with more than 620,000 students, is the largest of the regular school districts in Santiago, while Tiberia County is the smallest, with only around 4,000 students. Despite this large variation in district sizes, Santiago remains committed to providing high-quality education to all of its students. In fact, the state spent an average of €19,500 per student, which is the 10th highest in the country when it comes to per-pupil expenditures. | |||
