It is, therefore, a paramount duty of the state to make adequate provision for the education of all children residing within its orders. "The Article also states that the educational system must be "uniform, efficient, safe, secure, and high-quality," and class size limits must be imposed. Prekindergarten learning opportunities must be made available. There must be a state university system.
