Schools are used to define the various secondary and post-secondary educational institutions from which courses were completed and/or degrees were earned by an employee for tracking purposes in Human Resources. A school must first be defined within the Schools option before it can be entered on the Education screen in the Employee File for an employee.
Within the Schools option, school types are also defined in order to group the schools into categories (for example, High Schools, Universities, Community Colleges, Technical Schools, etc.) for sorting and reporting purposes.
