Description

Economic units primarily dedicated to providing general or technical high school education, of a preparatory nature; that is, the certification the school grants to graduates allows them access to higher education institutions. Admission to these schools requires prior completion of secondary education. These economic units offer their services through the traditional classroom system (fully in-person education, using a set format, defined in a specific time and place for students and teachers), the open system (blended learning, where students determine their own study time and subjects, studying independently but attending scheduled tutoring sessions at the school), or the distance learning system (where students work online in a digital environment using new technologies).
