real'noe uchilishche " 2ndary tech school

[Chew G]

Not precisely right, I think: the UK Education Act of 1944 created a system of three types of secondary school for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, termed "grammar schools", "secondary technical schools" and "secondary modern schools". So few secondary technical schools were ever built that most people today are unfamiliar with the term (I believe only some 2 or 3% of pupils ever attended one).  The system of which they were part was abolished in 1976.  I wouldn't have thought, in the circumstances, that the term is very useful for translating "real'noe uchilichshe".

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
