School terminology
Would you kindly tell me if these are the best translations for the following?
elementary school - escuela primaria junior high school - escuela secundaria high school - escuela secundaria or escuela superior If "escuela secundaria" can be used for both, how do you differentiate them in conversation? bachelor's degree - bachillerato or título de grado high school diploma - diploma or bachillerato If "bachillerato" can be used for both, how do you differentiate them in conversation? Thank you very much for your help.

This can change from country to country, so in Mexico:
Educación básica: ·Kindergarten - preescolar (education divided in two years, children from 4 to 6 years old) ·Elementary school - (escuela) primaria (six years, children from 6 to 12 years old) -> Diploma earned: Certificado de primaria Educación media básica: ·Junior high school - escuela secundaria (three years, children from 12 to 15 years old) -> Diploma earned: Certificado de secundaria Educación media superior: ·High school - preparatoria / bachillerato (three years, teenagers from 15 to 18 years old) -> Diploma earned: Certificado de preparatoria / certificado de educación media superior. Educación superior: ·Universidad (from four to five years, depending on the kind of career, adults from 18 to about 23 years old) -> Diploma earned: Licenciatura (Bachelor's degree) -> Master's degree: Maestría (usually two years, normally for people younger than 35 years old) -> Doctorate: Doctorado (usually two years, normally for people younger than 35 years old)

Yes, I couldn't translate most of the terms given into English, let alone into Peninsular Spanish.

@Pjt: perhaps describing by age, local name and title earned we can have an idea of equivalent schools, so we can make a big table at the end of the thread.
