Tertiary Education

Word for the day: Tertiary education   What is Tertiary Education and why is it important? Tertiary education broadly refers to all post-secondary education, including but not limited to universities.  Universities are clearly a key part of all tertiary systems, but the diverse and growing set of public and private tertiary institutions in every country—colleges, technical training institutes, community colleges, nursing schools, research laboratories, centers of excellence, distance learning centers, and many more—forms a network of institutions that support the production of the higher-order capacity necessary for development.   From the World Bank web site via Google search results.     Technorati Tags : education, tertiary, life+long+learning, adult+education Powered By Qumana
