A school is an educational institution designed to provide learning spaces and learning environments for the teaching of students under the direction of teachers. Most countries have systems of formal education, which is commonly compulsory In these systems, students progress through a series of schools. The names for these schools vary by country 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.

In addition to these core schools, students in a given country may also attend schools before and after primary (Elementary in the US) and secondary (Middle school in the US) education. Kindergarten or pre-school provide some schooling to very young children (typically ages 3–5). University, vocational school, college or seminary may be available after secondary school. A school may be dedicated to one particular field, such as a school of economics or a school of dance. Alternative school may provide nontraditional curriculum and methods.

There are also non-government schools, called private schools. Private schools may be required when the government does not supply adequate, or special education. Other private schools can also be religious, such as Christian schools, madrasa, yeshivas, and others; or schools that have a higher standard of education or seek to foster other personal achievements. Schools for adults include institutions of corporate training, military education and training and business schools.

In home schooling and online schools, teaching and learning take place outside a traditional school building. Schools are commonly organized in several different organizational models, including departmental, small learning communities, academies, integrated, and schools-within-a-school.

  • f you’re a fan of Italian-style pizza, you’re sure to love its Turkish cousins, pide(PEE’-deh) and lahmacun (LAH’-MAH’-juhn). Pide is most similar to pizza, as it’s topped with cheese and other selected toppings.
    Lahmacun is considered a Turkish street food. It has much thinner dough and doesn’t use cheese in the topping. Lahmacun is usually rolled or folded before eating.
  Lahmacun is orginally from the southeastern part of Turkey famous for it’s spicy kebabs and other meat dishes. It's a good example of Turkish regional cuisine. You can find this tasty, spicy treat all over the country in restaurants, cafes and fast food chain restaurants that specialize in lahmacun.

Many home cooks also successfully prepare lahmacun at home using their own mixture of Turkish spices and fresh ingredients.
