A student is primarily a person enrolled in a school or other educational institution who attends

classes in a course to attain the appropriate level of mastery of a subject under the guidance of an
instructor and who devotes time outside class to do whatever activities the instructor assigns that are
necessary either for class preparation or to submit evidence of progress towards that mastery. In the
broader sense, a student is anyone who applies themselves to the intensive intellectual engagement
with some matter necessary to master it as part of some practical affair in which such mastery is
basic or decisive.
In the United Kingdom and India, the term "student" denotes those enrolled in secondary schools
and higher (e.g., college or university); those enrolled in primary/elementary schools are called
"pupils."

Singapore[edit]
Six years of primary school education in Singapore is compulsory.[1]

 Primary School (Primary 1 to 6)

 Secondary School ( Secondary 1 to 4 or 5)
 Junior College (Junior College 1 to 2 - Optional)
There are also schools which have the integrated program, such as River Valley High School
(Singapore), which means they stay in the same school from Secondary 1 to Junior College 2,
without having to take the "O" level examinations which most students take at the end of Secondary
school.
International Schools are subject to overseas curriculums, such as the British, American, Canadian
or Australian Boards.

Bangladesh[edit]
Primary education is compulsory in Bangladesh. It is a near crime to not to send children to primary
school when they are of age. But it is not a punishable crime (sending children to work instead of
school is a crime). Because of the socio-economic state of Bangladesh, child labour is sometimes
legal. But the guardian must ensure the primary education. Everyone who is learning in any institute
or even online may be called a student in Bangladesh. Sometimes students taking undergraduate
education are called undergraduates and students taking post-graduate education may be called
post-graduates.
