Spanish term or phrase: Bachiller Académico
This is from a diploma issued in Cali, Colombia. My understanding was that South American students at this level have begun to follow either vocational or academic educational paths. Therefore I started to call this "High School Graduate - Academic". However, it says in the same diploma that the student has "cursado y aprobado los estudios correspondientes al nivel de Educación Media Vocacional". Now I'm confused.

Explanation:
For me that's what it says, I'd just let the evaluators sort out "Educación Media Vocacional" when it appears below. That's not our job.
