Secondary education - ISCED level 2 / 3

[barthanssens]

(feedback from BE experts)

In ISCED, secondary may refer to level 2 (lower) and 3 (upper secondary). Is this evidence only about level 3 ? If not, it would be useful add an optional level field, so this model can be used to provide evidence for both (or even all) levels of education.

If other education certificates are planned one should start with a generic model "educational evidences" with generic properties on issuer and issuing institution and the learner and the learning achievements. Then the secondary education specificities and tertiary specificities should be derived. I will create an own ticket for the proposed heritage structure.

Regarding ISCED the general educational evidence model should have the field ISCED-2011-Level ranging from level 0 to level ISCED 8 (doctoral or equivalent)

the model on higher education institution diploma should than have a field ISCED-2012-F telling about the field of studies

See here the possible values for ISCED-2011-level for the national educational systems https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/national-policies/eurydice/

e.g. for the German system:

As this evidence relates to the following three procedures:

• Submitting an initial application for admission to public tertiary education institution;
• Requesting academic recognition of diplomas, certificates or other proof of studies or courses;
• Recognition of professional qualifications of tourist guides.

We can conclude that this relates to ISCED 2011 level 3. The definition will be specified.
