All schools have their own "examencommissie". The "middenjury" is or was, depending on when your text was written, however, the special "examencommissie" of the Flemish Community, where students can take their secondary school exams without taking classes
Alexander Schleber (X) (asker) Dec 21, 2007:
I do not think that the "middenjury " was replaced by the "examenscomissie" according to this text, because both terms are used.

"Omdat xxxx reeds heel wat scholieren succesvol begeleid heeft voor zowel de examens van Middenjury als Grand Jury, stellen wij onze diensten aan u voor."

Alexander Schleber (X) (asker) Dec 21, 2007:
I Cannot identify defintely it from the source text. But it comes from a Belgian agency and the term gets nearly double the number of hits in Belgium than in NL.

I asked because the "middenjury" was of course abolished in Belgium http://comparative.edu.ru:9080/PortalWeb/document/show.actio...

Belgium? Netherlands?

examinations board of the Flemish Community

Middenjury is iets Vlaams. Het is de vroegere examencommissie van de Vlaamse Gemeenschap

Voor Grand Jury zou ik hier eens kijken: http://www.lesoir.be/supplements/swarado/le_dossier/panique-...

Ter verduidelijking: met 'vroegere' bedoel ik dat de 'middenjury' nu niet meer bestaat en is vervangen door de term examencommissie van de Vlaamse Gemeenschap.

Volgens mij is grand jury ge woon de Waalse equivalent van de Vlaamse middenjury

Central Examining Board

Times ago, instead of following the normal study and examination system, one could obtain the same diplomas, passing the exams before a Grand Jury. This way it was possible to obtain either diplomas without a regular course, or pass exams that were not a consequence of a normal course. This is (was?) a Belgian institution.
