GCSE General Certificate of Secondary Education (British)

Explanation:
"GCSE General Certificate of Secondary Education (British)"

Now you'll have to see whether it has to be translated into German. Does it refer to the German or British education system?

In German I would say:
"Der Lehrer/Dozent muss die Lehrberechtigung zur Erlangung der allgemeinen Hochschulreife (this is what "secondary education" means in German) besitzen."
