Spanish term or phrase: Centro Regional de Educación Normal
A college for teachers in Mexico.
Normal Superior.
It is a teachers college, an academy, after 6 years of grade school, and 3 years of secondary of middle school.
I am also interested in the reason for the word normal in reference to teachers education. No puns intended, I am trying to organizae a basic vocabulary for Mexican teachers here in Chicago, so they can translated for themselves their diplomas. Since the ECE doesn't require an official translation.

Escuela Normal in Argentina also means Teachers School, the same as in Mexico.
In Argentina the Bachillerato is the standard secondary school without any orientation, Comercial is the business or commercial school, Escuela Técnica, Industrial or Politécnico are the technically specialized ones, Escuela de Agricultura for Agriculture and Escuela Normal is for the teachers.
