training / education
'Ausbildung' and 'Schulunterricht' both belong to learning, but they do not mean the same thing. 'Schulunterricht' is instruction at a school, meaning individual lessons or regular learning in classes. 'Ausbildung' usually means learning a profession and often includes work in a company and lessons at a vocational school. Learners may confuse the words because both are organized and can have to do with teachers or instruction. For normal school subjects, you say 'Schulunterricht'; for the path into a profession, you say 'Ausbildung'.
Wegen des Schnees beginnt der Schulunterricht heute eine Stunde später.
