Spanish term or phrase: a la cual pertenece
Entidad federal a la cual pertenece el lugar de nacimiento del alumno
Entidad federal a la cual pertenece el plantel
Zona educativa a la cual pertenece el plantel

Aparece en el instructivo de un certificado de estudios de Venezuela.

Quiero saber si el wording que estoy usando es correcto, por ejemplo,
State where the student was born.
State where the Institution is located.
Educational area where the Institution is located.

No me gusta mucho "belongs to".

Gracias.

Clarification request(s) and response
patricia scott: 2:53pm Feb 2, 2007: ¿Se trata de USA? Es que según de qué país estemos hablando, al simplificar con where... no dice exactamente lo mismo - el plantel puede estar en una zona y pertenecer o depender (legalmente, institucionalmente) a/de otra zona.
Ana Brassara: 2:57pm Feb 2, 2007: No, es de Venezuela.

is located, belongs to (depends on context)
Explanation:

The State where the birthplace of the student is located
the State the Institution belongs to
Educational zone the institution belongs to

I think you have to consider carefully the context of each, "belongs to" is not always synonymous to "located"
