Spanish term

Promovido VS Aprobado

Spanish to English Other Education / Pedagogy Uruguayan Transcript
I am translating a Transcript from Uruguay and have this terms that need to be translated:
Promovido
Aprobado

I believe "promovido" and "aprobado" both mean the student passed, not they have some difference. Any ideas?

Passed/aprobado You can pass from one grade to the next, but you also pass classes with an adequate grade. You have to take the word passed/aprobado in context.
Darius Saczuk Oct 17, 2016:
@Virginia My thoughts exactly.
Virginia Koolhaas Oct 17, 2016:
@Ana En Uruguay se utiliza el término "promovido" para referirse a pasar de año, aprobar el año ("promovido a 3er. año con xxx"); aprobado es generalmente por materia. Un alumno puede aprobar x cantidad de materias pero no aprobar el año (no ser promovido de año). ¿Es una escolaridad de secundaria?
Darius Saczuk Oct 17, 2016:
Nope. Progressed is not used in such contexts.
Ana Ribeiro (asker) Oct 17, 2016:
Can it be Progressed? Progressed is my best guess, but I am not sure. This is why I am asking your opinion on this :)

Promovido = promoted to the next year, pass = has passed all the required courses and assessments.
Note from asker:
Promoted doesn't mean that the student passed, right?
Peer comment(s):

agree MollyRose : PassED. He passed the classes and was promoted to the next grade.

Yes, PASSED fits better. Thank you, Molly.
