AND THE SOCIETY AS A WHOLE?

A school is an institution for learning such that when we talk about school, we apply the term to mean education. Education, if looked at beyond its conventional boundaries, forms the very essence of all our actions. What we do is what we know and have learned, either through instructions or through observation and assimilation. 1
Most countries have its own system of education. 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. 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. 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.
Looking at the variations on approaches which each of the different schools implement and depending on how they carry out the curriculum for specific degree or course, the funding source and vision it has for itself and its students, the atmosphere and discipline imposed to carry out the goals of education in the respective schools give us an idea of how these conditions may affect an individual in relation to his personal circumstances
