εκπαιδευτικά προγράμματα

Have you not considered the fact that, whether they were there for 22 days, or 22 yrs., training to learn something, or jumping up and down under supervision, or attaining modules, all these are programmes that were compiled by somebody, to further the recipients ability, comprehension or knowledge, therefore coming under the umbrella of 'Educational programmes'? The programme in question is a course of teaching somebody how to be a better nanny, a better children's minder, a better 'educated' nanny, so she can pass that education onto the children she would be minding!!!

I'm not saying I'm positive that I disagree with your suggestion.
I'm just saying I'm not positive that I agree with it.
Anyway, I see that other people do, so I'd better leave this one to the community...

First off, from what I understand, I have the option to close a question, without actually letting the chosen answer to slip into the "glossaries"... Am I wrong on this? This is obviously a really helpful function, since certain terms within certain contexts contexts may be far too idiomatic to be considered worthy of becoming a precedent. Even if they do, however, anyone looking up the term in question should behold the context-related information that is explicitly provided as a clarification of the question being asked. In my case, for examples, I've got a piece of paper, signed by the head of a certain university department, that certifies that student XXX has attended 22 days long "εκπαιδευτικά προγράμματα" at actual preschools, while studying to become a preschool teacher. The greek term may be somewhat of a standard for describing such tasks, but I thought -and still think- that its literate translation into English may be one of questionable accuracy. In Swedish, for example, one would most probably speak of "moment" and not of "program"; and would one ask for a translation of "utbildningsmoment" into English (utbildning=education) he'd most probably get "training modules".

@m_a_a..,
You have to be careful. What you ask and what you mean should be the same. When the question is proposed and it is answered, what you have to choose becomes a precedent and goes into a 'Glossary', for future reference. People, who come after you, might want to look up, for example 'εκπαιδευτικά προγράμματα'. To all intents and purposes that is 'Educational Programmes'. If that does not fit in your text, and you vary it, it goes into the 'Glossary' and subsequent people will get your variance, which can be wrong for them. It is the same as the 'φυγόποινος' question, which you withdrew. You asked one thing but you wanted another. You can't do that. In this case, I dare to say that, 'εκπαιδευτικά προγράμματα' can ONLY be translated as 'Educational Programmes'. If you feel it is an 'activity/training programme you require you should say so.

Stick to 'Educational Programmes' and you will be OK. An Educational programme is not just for 'μαθητές'. It's true of everybody. Very often 'Ed. prog.' are broken down in 'modules', but that's another matter, they are still Educational programmes. My opinion!!
