Learning is a pillar that supports our society in more than one way. It is through learning that we get to know about our potentials and weakness and what to do to make the most out of them. It is also through learning that we acquire knowledge and information to enable us to get through various situations in life and help us make decisions that matter. As such, the need for advanced learning institutions like high schools and colleges has become a very important part of the modern society.
