Academic phases refer to the distinct stages of education that students typically progress through during their learning journey. These phases include elementary education, middle school, high school, and higher education. Each phase is designed to build upon the knowledge and skills acquired in the previous stage, preparing students for more advanced concepts and critical thinking. In higher education, students may pursue degrees such as associate's, bachelor's, master's, or doctorate. Each degree represents a different level of academic achievement and specialization. The transition between these phases often involves assessments, such as exams or projects, to ensure that students are ready to advance to the next level of learning.
