agree  Textpertise: Or secondary school. I am not aware that this subject is generally offered at secondary level but there are some specialist technical/vocational schools that may offer it. Middelbare opleiding is definitely secondary school and not college or university.

vocational school program in electronics engineering


Explanation:
"Middelbare" is a secondary school (ie high school, and not institution of higher education (ie university), but vocational school program in electronics engineering, but the reference posted refers to a "Hogeschool" (ie institute of higher education (at van Arnhem en Nijmegen)--

so as a compromise, I suggest simply calling it a "vocational school" which could be either a high school or a Hogeschool.

p.s. "electronics engineering" isn't wrong, (ie adding the "s"), but it is very very infrequently used.

neutral  EHL: Don't use hogeschool. I am pretty sure it's a level below that. It is not a secondary school either. Don't forget we have different levels of secondary school in Holland, followed by different levels of higher education.

  -> Interesting comment. (see my reply comment in the "Discussion entries")-- p.s. I still hold by my suggestion to use "vocational school" here
