3-year lower secondary school - district (town) level Explanation: The Czechoslovak school structure was basically with only moderate changes inherited from the 19th century, when the 1869 School Act extended compulsory education to eight years. Education was provided by a five-year “obecná škola” (community school), which was the common school for pupils aged 6 to 11 years. After five years of community school it was possible to choose one of the following three tracks (streams): - an additional 3 years at community school, a dead-end option since completing the eighth year of community school did not enable students to continue further in education at the upper-secondary level; - a three-year “měšťanská škol” (civic school; sometimes the translation “town school“ is used because these schools where established in towns rather than the countryside and because there had to be at least one in every school district) offering lower secondary education of a higher standard than that offered by the community schools; these schools allowed students to continue in some types of upper-secondary education - secondary schools, i.e. a seven-year ”reálná škola” (secondary technical school, real-schule) or an eight-year “gymnázium” (gymnasia - upper secondary general schools). This school structure with parallel and separate branches of study for pupils aged 11 to 14 (or15) years was criticized already in the inter-war era by many educators as undemocratic and elitist. https://estudandoeducacao.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/repc3b... |

junior high school Explanation: The girl in 1946 was 15 and she was in "mestianka" = today junior high school. The same for boy who was 12 years old that time. Pardon me for not using diacritical sings. |

prep school, primary school Explanation: eštianska škola (od roku 1919 aj občianska škola; hovorovo: meštianka, polgárka; nem. Bürgerschule, maď. polgári iskola) bol v minulosti (18. - 20. stor.) názov typu všeobecnovzdelávacej školy (pôvodne pre mestské deti) v Škandinávii, nemecky hovoriacich krajinách, rakúskej monarchii (vrátane Uhorska) a nástupníckych štátoch rakúskej monarchie. Bola koncipovaná buď ako alternatíva k základnej škole určenej pre široké masy (ľudovej školy) alebo ako pokračovanie takejto základnej školy. V Uhorsku bola určená pre 10 - 13-ročné (pôvodne sčasti 10-15-ročné) deti, v Česko-Slovensku pre 11-13-(ojedinele aj 14-) ročné deti |
