All Institutions and Systems

Institution entities are the schools, universities, national education systems and governance bodies this atlas documents as concrete organizations, distinct from the policy such a body issues and from the approach it may adopt, each its own entity linked back by relationship. This category is grouped by the UNESCO International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED 2011) into seven bands spanning early childhood providers through governance bodies, and by far its largest band, Higher Education Institutions, is expected to keep growing as the atlas pursues comprehensive real-world coverage of every accredited university and historically significant school.
