Distance education, also known as distance learning, is the education of students who may not always be physically present at school, or where the learner and the teacher are separated in both time and distance.

Traditionally, this usually involved correspondence courses wherein the student corresponded with the school via mail.

Distance education is a technology-mediated modality and has evolved with the evolution of technologies such as video conferencing, TV, and the Internet.

Today, it usually involves online education and the learning is usually mediated by some form of technology.

A distance learning program can either be completely a remote learning, or a combination of both online learning and traditional offline classroom instruction (called hybrid or blended).

Other modalities include distance learning with complementary virtual environment or teaching in virtual environment (e-learning).

Educational stages are subdivisions of formal learning, typically covering early childhood education, primary education, secondary education and tertiary education.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recognizes nine levels of education in its International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) system (from Level 0 (pre-primary education) through Level 8 (doctoral)).

UNESCO's International Bureau of Education maintains a database of country-specific education systems and their stages.

Some countries divide levels of study into grades or forms for school children in the same year.
