Early Years Education
I'd like to suggest two edits to this template, but I'm not being bold!

First, I'd like to add a row for Early Years Education, mentioning
Early education,
Pre-school education,
Kindergarten, and perhaps a couple of others.
Second, I notice that
Comprehensive school is listed by 'scope' whereas it should probably be by funding.reply

free school is miscategorized. The term does not refer to the funding model of the school but rather the pedagogical model. Free schools can be based upon any funding model including public, private, charter, etc.
Free School should be moved from "By Funding" to "By Style of Education"

I just changed to a standard navbox format and redid many of the sections. This navbox almost seems without direction. It really needs some work to clean it up. I'm only comfortable with the three generic types of schools. Beyond that I wonder what this template should contain.

University
Why is 'University' in the Tertiary section? So far as I am aware it is classed as 'Higher Education' throughout much of the world.

I have created a stub for
All-through school. It needs adding to the nav box. But where? Ideally straddling primary and secondary in the By Educational stage section, wouldn't you think?

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. Zhaofeng Li [

"By style / method": Removed "method" as the school types listed do not restrict themselves to a particular teaching method. Added "purpose" as it better captures the gist. I also grouped the many religious school types into one group, and progressive schools into a group.
Took out some that are purely an issue of location into "By location".
Moved
Folk high school to Progressive education, as the principles are very similar.
Proposal #1: I propose that the template is renamed to "Types of educational institutions" as it covers universities, institutes of technology, home-schooling, kindergarten, etc. which in English are rarely defined as schools.
Proposal #2: Move
Specialist school to By style / purpose as it has little to do with funding or eligibility but rather the contents of the curriculum. As such it fits better with Music school, Magnet school, etc.
