Concept selected: General Certificate of Education/Baccalaureate

Definition

Seeks to provide students with intellectual and human maturity, as well as the knowledge and skills to carry out social functions with responsibility and competence. It likewise makes students elegible for higher-level professional training and university studies. It comprises two academic courses that will normally be taken between the ages of sixteen and eighteen. Three different modalities are contemplated:
. Arts (this modality includes two tracks: Visual arts, Design and Image; and Performing Arts, Music and Dance).
. Sciences and Technology.
. Humanities and Social Sciences.
Students who have completed studies for the Graduate in Compulsory Secondary Education may begin studies for the General Certificate of Education/Baccalaureate. Students who successfully complete the General Certificate of Education, in any of its modalities, receive the title of Baccalaureate. This allows them to move on to higher-level professional training and university studies. In the latter case, an admissions test must be passed. The same degrees and the same pedagogical qualifications as those required for compulsory secondary education are required to teach this stage.
