Description
This sector comprises economic units primarily dedicated to providing educational and training services in a wide variety of subjects. These economic units (such as schools, colleges, universities, academies, and training centers) can be private—for-profit or non-profit—or public, and may also offer food or lodging services for their students. Instruction is offered in diverse locations, ranging from educational institutions and training centers to the home, correspondence courses, television, the internet, or other media. All categories defined in this sector share a common element in their production processes: human capital—teachers and instructors—with subject-matter expertise and teaching skills. Economic units provide their services through the traditional school system (fully in-person education, using a set format, defined in a specific time and place for students and teachers), the open system (blended learning, where students determine their own study time and subjects, studying independently but attending scheduled advising sessions at the school), or distance learning (where students work online in a digital environment using new technologies). To structure this sector, the following criteria were considered: the level of education and the type of educational services. According to the level of education, there are preschool, primary, secondary, high school, technical, and higher education schools, which correspond to sequential educational levels, formally recognized through certificates, titles, diplomas, and degrees. The remaining categories are based on the type of instruction or training offered, and the levels are not always formally defined. These establishments are often highly specialized, some in a very limited number of subjects, such as instruction in a specific curriculum.softwareFor computers. Within the sector, the level and types of training required for instructors and teachers vary depending on the instruction to be provided. Formal education refers to instruction provided in educational institutions that constitute a full-time "ladder" of instruction for children and young people, while non-formal education can be provided within or outside an educational institution and is intended for people of any age. Non-formal education programs do not necessarily follow the "ladder" system and their duration varies.
