Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits.

Educational methods include storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, and directed research.

Education frequently takes place under the guidance of educators, but learners may also educate themselves.

Education can take place in formal or informal settings and any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational.

The methodology of teaching is called pedagogy.

Secondary education covers two phases on the ISCED scale.

Level 2 or junior secondary education is considered the second and final phase of basic education, and level 3 (Upper) secondary education is the stage before tertiary education.

Every country aims to provide basic education, but the systems and terminology remain unique to them.

Secondary education typically takes place after six years of primary education and is followed by higher education, vocational training or employment.

College (Latin: collegium) is an educational institution or a constituent part of one.

A college may be a degree-awarding tertiary educational institution, a part of a collegiate or federal university, or an institution offering vocational education.
