Higher Education Institution (HEI)

A Higher Education Institution (HEI) is an organization that provides advanced learning opportunities beyond high school, such as colleges, universities, and technical institutes. These institutions offer undergraduate and postgraduate programs to help students develop specialized knowledge and skills for careers or further academic pursuits. HEIs often engage in research and community service, contributing to societal progress. They vary in size, focus, and degree offerings but share the goal of fostering education, innovation, and professional development at a higher level than secondary schooling.
