The following correspondence table is solely for information purposes. The objective is to help you in the best way possible in choosing the suitable admission class of a student coming from an education system different from the one we offer, and with class names different from ours.
In any circumstance, this table would be used as a standard to admit a student into a given class regardless of the other admission criteria and prerequisites.
