peer agreement (net): +16th form classes Explanation: This is not a new answer. It is a tidy up of my original answer. In your answer, I would suggest, “small rural comprehensive schools with 6th form classes” See: https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q="6th form studies" https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q="6th form curriculum" In England, we also have '6th form colleges', which only handle pre-university entrance teaching, equivalent to the λυκειακές τάξεις, so '6th form college' would be a UK equivalent of λυκειακές τάξεις, See: https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q="6th form college" As you could hardly call λυκειακές τάξεις in a remote area a "6th form college", I searched for more suitable alternatives. A British equivalent of λυκειακές τάξεις would be a '6th form school', i.e., a small establishment that only prepares pupils for university or higher educational institution entrance. See: https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q="6th form school" If you see the definition of a ‘comprehensive school’, you will see that it is not an ‘upper secondary school’ and that many ‘small comprehensive schools’ have 6th form classes. I know some of the places mentioned in the first link below. They are very small towns in quite remote areas. https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q="small comprehensive ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehensive_school Particularly see this link to a relevant passage in a book entitled, “Schooling in Rural Societies”, that mentions precisely what I am proposing: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ulRII4WdBpYC&pg=PA74&lpg... Here is another relevant reference: https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=ssl#q="rural areas" 6th for... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day19 hrs (2016-09-20 07:38:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Note: My original answer, that I continue to stand by, and which I had provided before anybody else had provided theirs was, “grammar school/high school/lycee forms (or grades or classes), but I clarified underneath that λυκειακές τάξεις applied to upper secondary school classes, and, “a γυμνάσιο is really a junior high school. whereas a λύκειο is an upper secondary school.” I then went on to say, “Another way that you could possibly describe it in British English would be, "6th form classes", because the γυμνάσιο diploma is really similar to UK 'O' level, whereas the λύκειο classes prepare one for university entrance,” and, “appropriate descriptions of these classes would be "upper secondary school classes" or "6th form classes" (if wanting s British English equivalent).” |
