Polymodal Level


Explanation:
complete guess

Source:
"There's been some confusion -- prob on my own confused view and confusing
writing -- on the interpretation of A-11 and the impossibility of tertiary
teachers to teach at EGB 3 and Polymodal Level way back in August 98, when
I submitted the last update to ELT News & Views.

Let me put this very clearly to you: Tertiary Level Teacher Training
Colleges can issue certification up to Polymodal Level: this means if I
have a certificate from X Teacher Training Institute -- say, ISP "Dr.
Joaquín V. González", I can teach up to Polymodal Education. By Federal
Agreement A-11 -- passed by the Federal Council of Cultrure and Education
in 1995 -- and the Law of Higher Education, I cannot teach at Tertiary
Level Institutes, if I do not hold a degree higher than the level I'm
teaching. So that means a LICENCIATURA. Don't think I'm not in the same
boat as you are. "
