WHAT IS THE SCHOOL.
A school is an institution
designed for the teaching of
students under the direction of
teachers. Most countries have
systems of formal education,
which is commonly compulsory. In these systems, students
progress through a series of
schools. The names for these
schools vary by country, but
generally include primary school
for young children and secondary school for teenagers
who have completed primary
education. An institution where
higher education is taught, is
commonly called a university
college or university. In addition to these core schools, students
in a given country may also
attend schools before and after
primary and secondary
education. Kindergarten or pre-
school provide some schooling to very young children.
University, vocational school,
college or seminary may be
available after secondary school.
A school may also be dedicated
to one particular field, such as a school of economics or a school
of dance. Alternative schools
may provide nontraditional
curriculum and methods. There
are also non-government
schools, called private schools. Private schools may be required
when the government does not
supply adequate, or special
education. Other private schools
can also be religious, such as
Christian schools, hawzas, yeshivas, and others; or schools
that have a higher standard of
education or seek to foster
other personal achievements.
Schools for adults include
institutions of corporate training, Military education and
training and business schools.
