Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy / high school certificate
Albanian term or phrase: matura shtetërore
I thought this was what you got automatically when you finish high school in Albania with grades "mjaft" and above. After googling it looks different, a kind of exam after high school that gives you the access to university. Should I add this in a translator's note? It seems possible to finish high school (with grades "mjaft" and above) without getting access to university.

high school graduation exams


Explanation:
Different countries have different education systems, including high school age. In America, I believe, these are called exit exams. In Britain, we have GCSE exams taken at the end of secondary school, when students are around 16 (and A-levels at the end of college - not to be confused with university).

I think the term "high school graduation exams" is internationally accepted and understood, but one could opt to put a particular country's equivalent as a match for the context if necessary.
