Why does institutions not work as well?

[KarinBenne1]

From what I can tell, they are two different words: 'institutterne' and 'insitutionerne'.

[hestvang]

The two words are interchangeable, but 'institute' is more commonly used to refer to academic organisations and 'institution' is more commonly used for organisations which provide a public services. Without context either word should be considered correct but maybe because this is in the education section this is implied.
