-!!! info
-    Note that *EducationEntry* is not necessarily for education entries only. It's one of the five entry designs that RenderCV offers, and it could be used for anything (see [custom sections](http://user_guide.md#custom-sections)). *EducationEntry* just happens to be its name. The same goes for other entries, too.
