The Bavarian State Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs is responsible for schools in the state.
The word is made up of 'der Staat' (the state), the linking -s, and 'das Ministerium' (ministry). So it literally refers to a 'ministry of the state'.

Die Regelung gilt nur in Bayern, da sie vom dortigen Staatsministerium erlassen wurde.

The name is almost always supplemented by the area of responsibility. The structure is typically '(federal state) + Staatsministerium für + (department/portfolio)'.
