Institutions and Systems

Institution entities are the schools, universities, national education systems and governance bodies this atlas documents, grouped by the UNESCO International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED 2011) into Early Childhood Education Institutions, Primary and Secondary Schools, Higher Education Institutions, Institutes of Technology and Specialized Science Universities, Liberal Arts Colleges, Ancient and Medieval Centers of Learning, and Education Governance and System Bodies. This band is where a reader browses education by the concrete organizations that deliver and govern it, from a single ancient center of learning through a modern research university to an intergovernmental accrediting body, distinct from the policy a governance body issues or the approach a school may adopt.
