Semi protected edit request on 8 January 2014 Please remove this page from my Facebook page This is not my high school nor did I teach at this high school Thank you Jude Johnson Not done please be more specific about what needs to be changed Use in Belgium and The Netherlands way off Not only does the paragraph not explain the Hogeschool literal translation system that provides Associate and Bachelor degrees the information it provides about secondary education is wrong in some key points Since I can t directly edit I thought I might sum it up here Children are required to attend school from 6 to 18 in Belgium and 5 to 18 in The Netherlands or until they attain a specific level of education BE any secondary education NL HAVO VWO or a level 2 MBO See Dutch government website on leerplicht and Flemish regional government s page on the same subject Not relevant for Hogeschool but faulty info in the article nontheless Dutch MBO is not considered school for the first two years it is always considered school unlike a Hogeschool that functions as a University in terms of application funding etc Now I don t know exactly how the Flemish equivalent of Hogeschool High school is used but i ll sum up how it works in the Netherlands from the lowest level up until Hogeschool usually translated as University of Applied Sciences I ll skip internal stuff on VMBO and MBO basically VMBO level determines MBO starting leve and you can always go up a MBO level 1 4 if you want to spend the time MBO level 4 provides access to almost all 1 Hogeschool Associate 120 ECTS and Bachelor 240 ECTS programs Associate degrees are more of a technicality unknown to employers and unused in most programs but they exist Completing the first year also known as Propedeuse of a Hogeschool program grants access to almost all 1 University Bachelor programs 1 Additional requirements may be set usually involving math or language courses attended Hogescholen and Universities must offer access to their Associate and Bachelor programs to potential students aged 21 and up via Colloquium Doctum Here s some more info from a Dutch University in English on that subject including a reference to the article of Dutch law about Colloquium Doctum The same system is often used when potential students lack certain courses from previous studies Regarding the article as a whole it seems to lack sources overall I feel it should be open for editing or otherwise overhauled to apply only to the term high school and it s literal translations redirecting to articles about secondary higher education if needed Preceding unsigned comment added by 82 171 32 96 Is high school in comics a valid category About half of super hero s are teenagers I think this is as valid a category as zoos in fiction these are both settings that are only really told by specific kind of stories Teen and animal adventure Category Fictional schools and its subcategory Category Superhero schools already exist Teenaged superheros are not fictional schools They might be fictional high school students and or fictional teenagers In many cases however those will not be defining characteristics User SummerPhD Summer
