Cities,  towns  and  boroughs  /’b rə/  (адміністрати́вний  о́круг).
            Alaska is not divided into counties, as most of the other U.S. states, but it is
            divided into boroughs. Many of the more densely populated parts of the state
            are  part  of  Alaska's  16  boroughs,  which  function  somewhat  similarly  to

            counties in other states.
                   Anchorage  (officially  called  the  Municipality  of  Anchorage)  is  a
            unified home rule municipality /mju:’n s ,pæl t / in the southcentral part

            of the U.S. state of Alaska. It is the northernmost city in the United States
            with  more  than  100,000  residents  and  the  largest  community  in  North
            America north.
                   Education. Public education in Anchorage, Eagle River, Chugiak, Fort

            Richardson  and  Elmendorf  Air  Force  Base  is  managed  by  the  Anchorage
            School  District,  the  87th  largest  district  in  the  United  States,  with  nearly
            50,000 students attending 98 schools. There are also a number of choices in

            private education, including both religious and non-denominational schools.
                   Anchorage has four higher-education facilities that offer bachelor's or
            master's  degrees:  the  University  of  Alaska  Anchorage,  Alaska  Pacific

            University,  Charter  College,  and  the  Anchorage  campus  of  Texas-based
            Wayland Baptist University. The University of Alaska Fairbanks also has a
            small Center for Distance Education center downtown.

                   Ninety  percent  of  Anchorage's  adults  have  high-school  diplomas,  65
            percent  have  attended  one  to  three  years  of  college,  and  17  percent  hold
            advanced degrees.
