educational attainment, junior year of high school


Explanation:
I'm not familiar with Colombia's educational system, but if high school consists of three years and the third year would be the 12th year of schooling in total including elementary, then the USA equivalent would be the "junior year of high school", and not the second, which would be "sophomore".

Now you research it and determine which is correct.

In Mexico for example it would definitely be thus, so try to find out how Colombia\'s educational system is organized.

"educational level attained: second year of Baccalaureate"


Explanation:

Another option. At least the Peninsular Spanish degree of "bachillerato" must be translated into English as "Baccalaureate".

neutral  Henry Hinds: It appears that "bachillerato" in Spain is the same as everywhere else, "high school", whereas a baccalaureate is a bachelor's degree (4-5 yrs.) from a university. Also, the document is from Colombia.
