real'noe uchilishche " 2ndary tech school

[Vera Beljakova]

In England in the 1950s, it would have been called a 
"Technical School" -
a secondary school with emphais on technical subject matter,
and after leaving school with 'O' level, one could proceed to a
Technical College -

This is how the secondary schooling was then divided/streamed:

High School - to enter university (mainly private) from 11 - 18 yrs ( up to A levels - i.e. univesity entrance)
Grammar School - to enter university (state schools) - same as above 

Technical School - to enter Technical College (more pratical than academic) 13 - 15 yrs + 2 extra yrs if one wanted "O" levels
Textile School - to enter Textile College - same as above
Art School - to enter Art College - same as aboe.

 Dear Inna and All, 

I think that Real'noe Uchilishche is equivalent to American 
technology-oriented community college where you can earn degree in 
applied sciences and engineering technology. For example, we have one 
like that in Bloomington Indiana, The Ivy Tech Community College, with 
a 2-year degree program. After that students can either go on a job 
market (as technicians, electricians, etc) or continue at a four-year 
institution (as transfer students). Hope it helps. 

Best, 
-Miriam Shrager
