Education / Pedagogy / Venezuelan junior high school transcript
Spanish term or phrase: E.F.: PO
Good morning! This phrase occurs in a table within a Venezuelan junior high school transcript. The table indicates what schools were attended by the student. So, unfortunately, there isn't a lot of context.

No.: 1
Nombre del Plantel: UECP XXXX
Localidad: xxxx
E.F.: PO

As always, a thousand thanks!

Explanation:
I did some more checking, and it looks like Entidades Federales are like States, and that Portuguesa falls into the category of Entidades Federales/States. According to what I found online, there are 23 states, the capital district, and several federal entities. I understand that Entidad Federal is more like a state.

E.F. (Entidad Federal) > Federal Dependency


Explanation:
As per reference document.

I would probably say Federal Dependency

However, still not sure what "PO" is?

Asker: I'm thinking that the "P" refers to "Plantel", but "O"...?

Reference: Entidad Federal: Portuguesa

Reference information:
This website, if you scroll down, shows a map of federal entities of Venezuela. The only one that seems a possibility for PO is Portuguesa.

I was trying to add the wikipedia link but somehow it didn't work. But the link that I did end up attaching has a map, too.

Example sentence(s):
  • The asker can look up the school to find out if it is located in this area.

  -> Thank you!
agree  Christian [email protected]: Very good guess! (I am from Venezuela). If the asker could share the "locality" we could be sure.

  -> Thank you! It helps to have confirmation from someone who is from the country and knows. :-)
