'Further education' or 'higher education'?
I am in confusion with the term 'further education' and 'higher education'. Here are two examples of them but I still get lost:
Although she had left school and was working, she went to evening classes at the local College of Further Education.
After he left school, he decided to go on to higher education and applied for a place at Edinburgh University.
Please help me distinguish. Thanks in advance.
