Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from the constituents: 'school' (educational institution) combined with 'system' (an organized set of structures or procedures) yields an organized arrangement of schools and administrative structures. This compositional relation is common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
School system comes from the image of many schools and services working together like parts of a machine or a team. The word school names the place for learning and system shows the organized parts, so school system means the whole organization that provides 'education' to children.
