K–12 (pronounced just "kay twelve", or "kay through twelve", "kay to twelve") is a designation for the sum of primary and secondary education. It is used in the United States, Canada, and some parts of Australia.

The expression is a shortening of Kindergarten (5 or 6-year-old) through 12th grade (or grade 12) (generally 17 or 18-year-old), the first and last grades of free education in the United States, Australia and English Canada.

By contrast, K–14 education also includes community colleges (first two years of university) and K–16 education adds a four-year undergraduate university degree.

Are k-12 teachers required to get a master's degree to keep their job?
Q. For k-12 teachers, do you need to eventually get a master's degree as a requirement to maintain employment? In my state (Ohio) I think they are required to get their master's degree by their 12th year, otherwise they lose their job. Is this policy about the same in all 50 U.S. States?

A. Unfortunately, being a chess teacher does not automatically translate into having the prerequisites for a school teacher.You will need at least a Bachelor's degree. Contact the local school board or State department of education for certification requirements.
