Explanation:
Just taking a guess! Wait 4 some other replies. It could refer to the "título de graduado escolar" in European Spanish. It is a certificate you get, when you finnish your primary school.

FYI


Explanation:
A GED diploma is one that a person who never finished high school receives after taking courses and passing a test to determine whether he/she has the equivalent knowledge of a high school graduate.


Diploma de Educacion General would be he direct translation, depending on which is your target audience, perhaps spanish speaking countries have this same type of diploma, check into it for an appropriate translation. If it is for the US market I would leave it as GED - as it will bew understood.

good luck.
