English “folk” and German “Volk” (as in Volkswagen) are not identical but the meaning can overlap.When education for everyone became a concern for governments, i.e. in the 19th century, the German states started schools for the people or Volksschule. This sign is from the Feudenheimschule in Mannheim, built like many schools at the beginning of the 20th century.

In Finnish Volkschule in called kansakoulu, kansa=volk and koulu=schule. So Finnish is easy to learn.
The law for kansakoulu is from 1866, that was a long time ago.
