*advanced*

or simply

education & advanced education

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 26 mins (2007-09-16 23:48:07 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

I think you need to definitely keep in mind that the CV contains "Grundschule" which does not fall under secondary school education

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 33 mins (2007-09-16 23:55:43 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

Perhaps:
*school education* &
*academic (or advanced) education and training*

the addition of *training* would cover the ref. to the
"Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr"

Schulzeit v. Studienzeit
Secondary Education & Further Education


Explanation:
I'm not sure I would normally even bother differentiating as I might just bracket these both under education, but if I were to differentiate then secondary education and further / higher education.
