A school is an educational institution designed to provide learning spaces and learning environments for

the teaching of students (or "pupils") under the direction of teachers. Most countries have systems of
formal education, which is commonly compulsory.[citation needed] In these systems, students progress through
a series of schools. The names for these schools vary by country (discussed in the Regional section
below) 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 or university, but these higher education institutions are usually not compulsory.
