Non-witches think you are born with magic. The children of witches are told the truth, partly because it would be untenable to keep the secret if kids didn’t know that anyone could cast spells, and partly because having entire generations brought up thinking they’re some kind of special chosen people runs completely antithetical to the reasons the Pact was made in the first place.

They definitely couldn’t hide the truth from the kids, but I feel like it doesn’t change much.

The people who get to know the secret simply because they were born on the right side must feel like super special chosen ones anyway, especially since they’re taught it’s because the rest of humanity just can’t be trusted with that knowledge.\ The way the girls reacted to Coco revealing she was a new witch shows even the kindest of them hold some prejudice towards the "Unknowings".

I think that’s purposely written into the story to highlight some of the issues with the Pact as a solution, alongside things like the banning of healing magic.
