Therefore, the National Education broadly speaking includes three levels of education:

1) The level of basic education;
2) The level of secondary education, subdivided into:
a) General secondary education and;
b) Technical secondary education and finally

3) The level of higher education and scientific research.

Regardless the level of education rferred to, the operators are either public (State other states sub entities divisions) or private (secular or denominational).
