school education
The total body of knowledge, skills, and education that a person acquires during their time at school.
Eine gute Schulbildung ist die Grundlage für viele Berufe.
A good school education is the foundation for many professions.
'Schulbildung' (school education) is made up of 'Schule' (school) and 'Bildung' (education). The '-n-' is a linking element that connects the two words. So the meaning can be derived directly from its parts: education that you receive at school.
Die Schulbildung in diesem Land hat einen guten Ruf.
School education in this country has a good reputation.
Since 'Schulbildung' describes an abstract concept, the word is used almost exclusively in the singular. People talk about the level or quality of school education as a whole.
Er hat nur eine geringe Schulbildung, ist aber sehr erfolgreich.
He has only a limited school education, but he is very successful.
'Schulbildung' is often combined with adjectives such as 'gut' (good), 'hoch' (high/advanced), 'solide' (solid), or 'allgemein' (general). Typical verbs are 'erhalten' (to receive), 'genießen' (to enjoy/benefit from), or 'haben' (to have).
Alle Kinder sollten die Chance auf eine gute Schulbildung haben.
All children should have the chance to receive a good school education.
general knowledge
Schulbildung refers to knowledge and skills based on the fact that they were acquired during a person’s school years. Allgemeinbildung, by contrast, refers to broad knowledge in many subject areas, regardless of where it was acquired. Schulbildung is appropriate when focusing on the source of the education; Allgemeinbildung when focusing on the type and breadth of the knowledge.
Ihre gute Schulbildung verdankt sie engagierten Lehrkräften.
She owes her good school education to dedicated teachers.
Ihre breite Allgemeinbildung erweitert sie auch durch Zeitungen und Bücher.
