Spanish term or phrase: graduarse como bachiller
I'm not familiar with the Cuban education system, so I'm not sure if what is meant is that he graduated from high school or with a Bachelor's degree from an undergraduate institution, since none is mentioned, before he enrolled in law school.

Contexto:

"Cursó los estudios primarios en la Escuela Zapata, de la Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País, y tras graduarse como bachiller en 1940, matriculó Derecho en la Universidad de La Habana."

To pass out of high school


Explanation:
"And after passing out of High School in 1940, he enrolled on a Law degree course at the University of Havana".
It seems to say that the subject underwent primary and secondary education at the Zapata school before embarking on tertiary education at the University of Havana.
