Spanish term or phrase: grado de escolaridad de tercero basico
This is part of an email sent by an employee to the HR office complaining about a couple of managers who are doing some illegal stuff at work.... when he confronted the managers about why they were paying 4 agents more than the other 4 the managers said the following in spanish (see next sentence), my question is what level of education is comparable here in the US to what he says and then also what do they mean when they say "tenemos con diversificado?"
Spanish answer: ".. contestándome que 4 eran mas caros por tener un grado de escolaridad de tercero básico, cosa que no es así, ya que en la mayoría de tiendas tenemos hasta con diversificado y les pagamos el mínimo.."
thanks!

the "diversificado" part refers to "ciclo diversificado", meaning the last two years of high school/secondary school education...
