Higher education is education provided by universities, vocational universities (community colleges, liberal arts colleges, and technical colleges, etc.) and other collegial institutions that award academic degrees, such as career colleges.
I will be studying in the UK with a higher education course.

Special Education Name

Any first name unfortunately bestowed upon a child that is shared with the name of a city, state, car or truck model, precious metal or stone, liquor, or a general word that indicates something of worth. Your child is destined to require Special Education if you make the unfortunate decision to name them one of these. Examples include, but are not limited to: London, Dakota (meets criteria of truck model and state), Platinum, Diamond, Courvoisier, or Treasure.
Dakota is in sixth grade, but still cannot recite his ABC's. Wow, it's gotta be the Special Education name his parents gave him.

Percussive education

The fine art of bludgeoning a student in order to encourage them to learn faster.

Similair in concept to Percussive Maintenance, but appplied to a person rather than an inanimate object.
The users have asked the same damn question for the hundredth time, perhaps a little 'Percussive education' will help them remember the answer

comprehensive education

British socialist experiment (further enhanced by successive generations of hapless politicians) that forced fee paying schools out of business, raised the school leaving age and tried to give all children between 4 and 16 a basic education in several subjects. 'Basic' is about as good as it gets for most victims forced as they are into mind-numbing boredom, despair and violence. Most schools are like open, juvenile prisons. Still, American state schools make every one of 'em look like Oxford!
teenage pregnancy? routine bullying? can't read and write without the aid of 15 years further education? teacher's all suicidal? no future? no motivation? no prospects? It has to be comprehensive education!
