schooling

Years of learning

Schooling is formal education, especially at the primary and secondary levels: She had very little schooling.

The word emphasizes the institutional process rather than the knowledge gained.

Schooling also means training or discipline: The horse needs more schooling before competition.

In a competitive sense, to give someone a schooling is to defeat or outperform them decisively, often with an implication of teaching them a lesson.
