Social Sciences - Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs | | German term or phrase: Gestaltung der gymnasialen Oberstufe in der Sekundarstufe II | Vereinbarung zur Gestaltung der gymnasialen Oberstufe in der Sekundarstufe II
This is on a "Zeugnis". I can't seem to find an official translation for this on the internet. If anyone has one it would be much appreciated. Thanks :-) |
| | | English translation:Organisation of the upper secondary education OR the secondary education second stage | Explanation:
The appropriate term depends to a degree on the target audience. The UNESCO classification (secondary education second stage) should be generally acceptable. In the US, it is the Junior and Senior year of high school. For the high school diploma to be equivalent to the German Abitur in regards to the qualification to enter universities, high school students have to be enrolled in the International Baccalaureate Program. |

14 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +1 Agreement on the Organisation of the upper Gymnasium at the Upper Secondary Level
Explanation:
...not sure if it is official, but it does appear here:
"The provisions regarding the gymnasiale Oberstufe, i.e. upper Gymnasium level are laid down in the following agreement of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs:
Agreement on the Organisation of the upper Gymnasium at the Upper Secondary Level (resolution of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs from 07 July 1972 as amended on 16 June 2000)
"Vereinbarung zur Gestaltung der gymnasialen Oberstufe in der Sekundarstufe II" (Beschluss der KMK vom 07.07.1972 i.d.F. v. 16.06.2000)"

By the way, and regardless of what translation you decide to go with, I would recommend putting the German version in brackets (or the other way around), since that is the document that will need to be found, and--as far as I can tell--there is not yet a translation of it into English.
Also note that you may need to adjust the capitalization according to your context (I simply copied and pasted the translation I cited above).
;)

Finally, my suggestion is obviously for the whole phrase (I was a bit rash), i.e., as a translation of "Vereinbarung zur Gestaltung der gymnasialen Oberstufe in der Sekundarstufe II."
