Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Education / Pedagogy / Education | | Dutch term or phrase: overgangsbewijs | Who can explain what "een overgangsbewijs van 3 naar 4 havo/vwo" is. The sentence reads "je kunt aan het eerste leerjaar beginnen wanneer je in het bezit bent van een diploma vmbo of in het bezit bent van een overgangsbewijs van 3 naar 4 havo/vwo".
Is it simply that you have passed year 3 of your havo or vwo course and can progress to year 4? In any case, a pithy translation is required. Thanks for your help! |
| | | summer report; final term report; end-of-year report | Explanation:
een overgangsbewijs van 3 naar 4 havo/vwo = summer report which allows advancing from 3 to 4 havo/vwo
I think this will do, but is far from pithy

anyway, your conception of \"overgangsrapport\" is right

nou zie ik het probleem dat Saskia volgens mij heeft: er staat geen komma achter report, dus \"which allows advancing from 3 to 4 havo/vwo\" is een beperkende bijzin. Met andere woorden: niet ieder summer report kwalificeert je voor de overgang van 3 naar 4 havo/vwo. Een \"summer report which allows advancing from 3 to 4 havo/vwo\" doet dat dus wel, en is hiermee een overgangsbewijs |

| Grading comment I've chosen Henk's answer as most helpful as he confirmed that my thinking on the matter was right. Having no direct experience of the Dutch educational system, input from someone who has always proves invaluable. In my final translation, however, I went along with Jarry and Kate's "pass". Fwiw, the translated sentence now reads: "You can enrol on the first year of the course if ... you have passed year 3 of your "HAVO" or "VWO" course".
