Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

The term depends on which country the original text is from. USA has a different grading system than Europe and Latin America... more info is needed.

Enseñanza media refers to secondary (but not the final 2 years)
Rachael West Oct 3, 2013:
Bachillerato is not obligatory education. It is the final 2 years after secondary, corresponding to the 16-18year old age group, so depending on how specific the translation has to be, you may need to make this clear. In UK it is common to make reference to the Baccalaureate, as the European equivalent of the British A-level system. Secondary education by itself covers the age group from 11/12 - 16 which is obligatory, + final non obligatory 2 years (A level, or Baccalaureate). If it's just a very general translation, I should think Elizabeth's suggestion would cover it.

Middle and High School

That is the equivalent in America, though I am not quite sure what it would be in the UK, or other English speaking countries.

Secondary Education and Baccalaureate

It depends which country the translation is for.
For British English, this would be one translation. If it's US or another country, it would may be Luis's suggestion.

Secondary and Sixth Form Education

"Sixth form" for UK and if the A-Levels are studied at the same secondary school rather than at college.

Around 150 parents attended the first in a series of public meetings to discuss a major shake-up of secondary and sixth form education in Powys.
