Art/Literary - Education / Pedagogy / School Report
Chinese term or phrase: 综合
Can anyone give me idea of what this might be on a school report? It is listed in a table with other school subjects (math, P.E., English, etc.).
I am aware of its general meaning, but haven't heard of this as a school subject.

Comprehensive Arts / Science
Explanation:
"综合" is a special subject in Chinese education system and can refer to two subjects: Comprehensive Arts integrates three art subjects (politics, history and geography), while comprehensive Science integrates three science subjects (physics, biology and chemistry). You will have to determine which one the "综合" refers to in the context.

Thanks Nicholas. There was no clue as to which it was from the other subjects, so I listed it as "composite".
