What does the Wyoming Constitution say about education rights?

• A. Private religious schools only
• B. No provision on education.
• C. A system of free public schools and the state's responsibility to support education
• D. Education is optional

Answer: (C)

Wyoming’s Constitution treats education as a public obligation. It requires the state to establish and maintain a system of free public schools and to support education financially. This guarantees universal access to a basic education funded by the public sector, rather than leaving education to private or voluntary efforts. The idea that education is optional or limited to private religious schools isn’t consistent with this constitutional mandate, which makes education a state responsibility and a matter of public provision. In short, the Constitution sets up a funded system of free public schools for all children, rather than leaving education unaddressed.
