In the U.S., Higher Education refers to colleges and universities. In the U.K., however, not all post-secondary education is considered a part of higher education; vocational and job-training programs are generally not considered higher education, instead being included in “Further Education”. This includes many community colleges and certificate programs that would be considered higher education in the US.
