Special Issue on Higher Education
Higher education is an educational level that follows a
completion of a school providing a secondary education, such as a high school,
secondary school, or gymnasium. Tertiary education is normally taken to include
undergraduate and postgraduate education, as well as vocational education and
training. Colleges, universities, and institutes of technology are the main
institutions that provide tertiary education. Examples of institutions that
provide post-secondary education are vocational schools, community colleges,
independent colleges, and universities in the United States, the institutes of
technical and further education in Australia, CEGEPs in Quebec, and the IEKs in
Greece. They are sometimes known collectively as tertiary institutions.
Completion of tertiary education generally results in the awarding of
certificates, diplomas, or academic degrees.
Higher education
includes teaching, research, exacting applied work, and social services
activities of universities. Within the realm of teaching, it includes both the
undergraduate level, and beyond that, graduate-level. The latter level of
education is often referred to as graduate school, especially in North America.
