Reference Reference information: To the best of my knowledge (not having found a direct reference), this would be the equivalent in UNESCO and OECD classification. The term "inférieur" was apparently used in Belgium, Luxembourg and Switzerland; whether it still is, I have not been able to ascertain as yet. It concerns both general and vocational studies, it seems (see below). LOWER SECONDARY EDUCATION (ISCED 2) Statistics Directorate French Equivalent: Premier cycle de l'enseignement secondaire (CITE 2) Definition: Lower secondary education (ISCED 2) generally continues the basic programmes of the primary level, although teaching is typically more subject-focused, often employing more specialised teachers who conduct classes in their field of specialisation. Lower secondary education may either be “terminal” (i.e., preparing students for entry directly into working life) and/or “preparatory” (i.e., preparing students for upper secondary education). This level usually consists of two to six years of schooling (the mode of OECD countries is three years). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2008-09-06 08:17:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://stats.oecd.org/glossary/detail.asp?ID=5385 |
