A school is an educational institution, which is an organization founded and united for a specific purpose of passing on education to people of particular ages, qualifications and other categories. Such institutions include pre-schools; nursery, elementary and secondary schools; and further or higher educational institutions like universities, colleges and trade schools or vocational colleges (Wordnet, n.d.). The different forms of education given to students of educational institutions include knowledge, through the passing of information; skills, through demonstration and training; values and beliefs, through active guidance and a system of consequential reward and punishment. Other methods of education include storytelling, and guided researching (Dewey, 1944). Learning environment refers to the context where students or generally, learners, experience learning activities and cultures. Relevant to the learning environment is the culture of the society it serves and their location. Within the context of educational institutions, learning spaces, which are physical settings for learning environments, play vital roles in students’ learning processes. Traditionally, in schools, education is administered to the students and supervised by a qualified teacher or instructor. This is one common operational characteristic of the learning environments worldwide. Besides learning new skills and gaining information, students also receive discipline in school. Teachers and instructors also play a crucial part in making sure students behave properly and within the bounds of school regulations and codes of conduct. Tardiness, poor time management, immorality and indecency are discouraged in academic institutions
