Abstract from DBPedia
    Higher education is tertiary education leading to award of an academic degree. Higher education, also called post-secondary education, third-level or tertiary education, is an optional final stage of formal learning that occurs after completion of secondary education. It represents levels 6, 7 and 8 of the 2011 version of the International Standard Classification of Education structure. Tertiary education at a non-degree level is sometimes referred to as further education or continuing education as distinct from higher education.

    高等教育（こうとうきょういく、Higher education）とは、中等教育における学修を受け、学修の成果として学位などの学術称号やサーティフィケートが授与される課程、具体的には、大学、高等専門学校、専門学校などで行われている教育のことである。
