A student is a learner, or someone who attends an educational institution. In some nations, the English term is reserved for those who attend university, while a schoolchild under the age of eighteen is called a pupil in English , although in the United States and in Australia a person enrolled in grades K–12 is often called a student.
In its widest use, student is used for anyone who is learning, including mid career adults who are taking vocational education or returning to university.
