Education / Pedagogy
Spanish term or phrase: ampara
Colegas, esta es una oración de un certifcado de estudios de México en el que se enlistan las materias cursadas màs las calificaciones obtenidas:
"El presente certificado ampara 52 asignaturas de un total de 52 que integran el plan de estudios correspondiente."

My translation:
This certificate validates? 52 of the 52 courses that constitute the corresponding curriculum.

I can't find an English word directly equivalent to AMPARA, would "VALIDATES" fit here? any suggestions?

Gracias, Luis M.

Normalmente uso \"covers\", pero \"includes\" es otra opción viable. Traduzco muchos certificados de estudios de México.
