"What is further education?
Further education (FE) is used to describe the education that occurs following compulory post-16 secondary education, which is usually distinct from that offered in universities (higher education). It includes many different levels such as A Levels and Higher National Diplomas. Foundation Degrees are also a type of further education and take 2 years to complete (or 3-4 part-time) compared with the 3-4 years of most bachelors degrees, however they are offered by both universities and colleges; sometimes it is possible to ‘top-up’ a Foundation Degree to a bachelors degree, with 1 year or more of extra study
Further education is usually taught in the sixth-form college part of a school or in independent FE colleges, as well as in other work-based, adult and community learning institutions. Further education programmes will usually go up to Level 3 (e.g. Advances Apprenticeships or A Levels) and are often designed to provide the skills to advance to HE. In the US FE is sometimes referred to as continuing education."

Discussion
Certainly in UK at least "post-secondary school" means absolutely nothing. We have secondary schools, and following this, either "institutions of further education" or "institutions of higher education".
