Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs / High School transcript in
French term or phrase: établissement
It is located in the top part of the beginning of the Transcript statement. Under the name, birthplace, birthdate.

And it is written this way:

Etablissement: 11 Janviere

What does it mean here? Etablissement means institutions. But, does it have to do with the date applied?

Does it mean the start date?

Explanation:
Often, if it is an official document, INSTITUTION will be used, depending on the level of academy. It really depends on where. In Canada and Quebec, I have seen Institution, whereas in the US-Canada it is becoming more regular to use SCHOOL.

Notes to answerer
Asker: OMG, this is one of those moments when one has an easy question on the exam but looks for a harder answer. It didn't occur to me that schools can be named after a date. But, actually, sometimes they do when it is a Very Important Day. Now it really makes sense. I am laughing now!!! Thank you so much.

Asker: Paulina Sobelman, true. I made that connection. In some Arabic countries, they also name schools after an important Day which is important to the people.
