Education in Utah has a long history that has led to a more efficient education system throughout the state.
The education system started to take shape in 1847 when Mormon pioneers arrived in Utah state. The first schools were predominantly run by the Mormon community, with ecclesiastical leaders organizing the curriculum and facilities as well as teaching Mormon doctrines.[1][2] When Utah became a state in 1896, schools became government-funded, allowing for free public-school education throughout the state.[3] Today, the education system hosts a range of public, charter, and private K-12 schools. There is also a mix of private and public higher learning institutions throughout the state.
