Ein Lehrer bestätigte mir, dass im deutschen Schulsystem jegliche Art von Schule, die über Haupt- und Realschule hinausgeht, als weiterführend gilt. *Haupt- und Realschule* habe ich provisorisch mit *Secondary School* übersetzt. Hat jemand einen Tipp, wie man die Sache lösen kann? P.S.: Die Übersetzung ist für den US-amerikanischen Markt und der Platz auf der Folie ist begrenzt. Danke für Eure Vorschläge.
