The easy answer is that "tuition" means "fees charged for education or training."
Tution is charged for colleges, universities, and technical schools, but sometimes for general education: primary (elementary) school, and secondary school (middle school or junior high school, senior high school or high school).
The United States and some other countries have tax-supported public education, where the costs of primary and secondary education is paid for by the general public.
The United States also has compulsary education, meaning almost all children must attend school through high school. (Students may quit school at some age which may vary from state to state.)
Most students in the United States attend public schools, but some families choose non-public schools such as private schools and academies, parochial (Catholic) schools, etc., where the costs of education are supported by tuition and fees. Sometimes there are grants and scholarships to help the parents afford the tuition and fees.

Tuition is the amount of money that you pay per class. If you're thinking of going, go soon; it just gets more and more expensive!
