Institutions of higher learning refer to institutions of higher education. University education is an elite education, where higher talents and intellectuals are taught, including comprehensive universities and various specialized and specialized colleges, collectively referred to as higher education schools, referred to as "universities".

Foreign "high school" refers to "high school" and literally means "colleges and universities", but in fact this translation is inappropriate. "University" is an independent word in China, not imported from abroad, so there are no so-called nonstandard words.
