do not translate (describe or paraphrase in brackets)


Explanation:
Corresponds to A-levels in UK (at the end of sixth-form college), the current practice is that degrees and certificates are not translated, but left in the original.
In Spain what you get at the end of COU (secondary education)

BACHILLER IS NOT A BACHELOR OF ARTS


Explanation:
it is a diploma not at the university level. It is a degree in Humanities but not at the university level so it may be an associates or even a technical degree before you enter University.

It is a degree at the secondary level usually, high school. The way this is described though indicates that it may be a degree after high school and before university. that is not to say that it is not a high school diploma.

RebeW has a good point and in no way was I disagreeing with that possibility.

neutral  Irena: "degree" by definiton refers to university education, diploma at the end of secondary education studies in Spain, specialization in humanities rather than science
11 hrs
  -> According to the Pequeño Larousse Ilustrado it is a degree received before entering university.
