Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy / Internship Collaboration Agreement
Spanish term or phrase: adecuar
Hi all,

This is one of the recitals from a collaboration agreement template for a Spanish university. The agreement will be used for external internships for the students of this university. The sentence that “adecuar” appears in (below) is in italics in the original to denote that it’s an instruction for when an actual agreements is created based on the template.

None of the glossary entries seem to cover the use of “adecuar” here, and I haven’t come up with anything I’m happy with, so could use some suggestions.

Context:

“Cuarto.- Que, en concreto, las prácticas curriculares se configuran como actividades académicas integrantes del plan de estudios de que se trate (adecuar este apartado para másteres y enseñanzas propias).”

Could it be “reword” or "rephrase" maybe?

Going into UK English. Thanks in advance.
