Definition of

School

Student

School can be used as a synonym for pupil or student.

Originating from the Latin term scholāris , the word school refers to what has to do with the school or the students . The term can be used to name the student who goes to school to train.

For example: «Three schoolchildren from the municipality were awarded by the provincial government» , «What does a schoolboy do in the bar? The children should be at school at this time» , «In my school days, I used to play football with my friends every day» .

school adjective

The notion of school, on the other hand, can be used as an adjective when it qualifies something that is related, in one way or another, to the school: «The school building is in ruins: we need support to rebuild it» , «That jacket does not form part of the school uniform" , "We are disappointed with Agustín's school performance" .

This adjective, therefore, allows us to create several concepts. The school year is known as the period that begins when classes resume after the holidays, extending until the beginning of the following holidays. A similar notion is that of the school calendar , established by the authorities to determine which days are classes and which are holidays or holidays.

School age , for its part, is that which is experienced while the student attends class and does not have to work. Upon completing the mandatory studies, the person becomes a school graduate .

school elements

School supplies are elements that are used in class.

An entity that manages educational issues

Likewise, there are other terms that use the word in question and that refer to a series of institutions or organizations that take everything that is related to the field of school as the central axis of their activity. In this way we can emphasize that, for example, there exists in Spain what is called the State School Council .

Specifically, this entity is the instrument through which all those sectors of the school environment, and the educational field in general, take part in the matter. Starting in 1985, it was put into operation, which also has the tasks of advising and acting as an instrument of consultation by the Government of the nation on the matter it deals with.

Digital School Library

In the same way we can also establish that on the Internet, an increasingly important instrument in the field of education, there is what is known as a Digital School Library . A website of great weight since it is responsible for offering information of a very diverse nature not only to students, but also to teachers and even parents, researchers or pedagogues.

Early Childhood Education, Secondary or Baccalaureate are the three areas into which said web space is divided where you can keep up to date with the latest news about the educational field, where links are offered to access various topics of interest or where you can search material on a specific topic or subject.

Other meanings of school, finally, are not common. A schoolboy, in this sense, can be a necromancer or the act of passing through a narrow space .
