Dutch term

uitgebreide technische school (UTS)

Dutch to English Other Education / Pedagogy
Hi
A list of education options in the Netherlands.

What would be the equivalent in the British educational system.

Can anyone point me to a website that contains a list of these descriptors in UK English?

TIA
Alexander

Alexander, a website that may come pretty close to what you're looking for is www.nuffic.nl. They have a bilingual glossary of educational terms. Hope this helps! Kind regards, Jack

technical secondary school (UTS/MTS)

ref: Nederlandse Hoger Onderwijs Termen in het Engels [Nuffic]: "Middelbare Technische School = technical secondary school (MTS). An MTS diploma is comparable to the British National Diploma in Engineering".

UTS was changed to MTS in the 1970's.

Bedankt Mirjam.
agree DutchConnection : Description of Dutch type of school, which doesn't exist in England. Pupils can opt for more vocational subjects at many secondary schools though.
