GENERAL GCSE EQUIVALENT TEACHING ORIENTATED CERTIFICATE ORIENTATION Explanation: The idea of a "Bachillerato" where you have to pass all subjects to get a certificate does not exist as such in England. You get a certificate for subject that you sit. You sit GCSE exams at 16 and A levels at 18. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-11 12:13:49 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This site is an English school in Madrid.

High School Degree with Specialization in Education Explanation: Hey Alicia! Well I am a Bachiller con Orientación Docente myself. I graduated from Normal 9 which is one of the 10 "Normales" in Buenos Aires. High School in Argentina takes 5 years. In the last four you chose your specialization. I chose Education. I´m not so familiar with UK English, may be you should say "Secondary School Degree with Specialization in Education" and not High School, but this is how I would translate my own degree, should I have to. Regards, Aurora -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-11 13:36:42 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Have been reading the questions above. Let me explain this: 1) Bachiller is one of the degrees you obtain in Argentina when you finish High School (US) or College (UK). You may specialize in Mathematics (yuk...), Education, Accounting (yuk yuk...). 2) Regarding emalki´s question on bachilleres con orientación docente being trained on how to teach: we are NOT trained to do it. It is assumed that if we decide to devote those last two years of the secondary school to \"education\" it is because we will then proceed to study \"Profesorado Superior\" to become a TEACHER. The same happens if you chose to spend your last two years of the secondary specializing in Maths... (sorry for the use of taboo language!). You will probably then apply to study Economics, or Accounting or one of those lovely careers. Hope I´ve been clear enough. =) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-11 13:37:45 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, I made a mistake in my first explanation: IN THE LAST TWO YEARS you chose your \"orientation\":..
