The vocational/technical stream is comprised of programmes in cooking, electrical technology/electronics, mechanical technology, agriculture, arts, finance and economics, nursing, etc. and includes general academic subjects, in addition to coursework in the specialization.
- Upon completion of general academic secondary education students receive a graduation certificate, which is awarded by the school. The graduation certificate for students of the vocational/technical stream indicates the specialisation studied.

- Assessment and Promotion:
- In general secondary schools, a qualifying examination scheme is adopted. Students are examined in all academic subjects annually. Examination papers are prepared by educational authorities at the provincial, autonomous region and municipal level. Students are given “check-up” papers in labour skills, and science lab skills. Check-up papers are prepared by the county and city education departments.
- Grading Scale:
- Most schools follow either the A-F scale found in Canada or the 1-100 scale.
