Középfokú

The term középfokú originates from Hungarian and translates to intermediate or secondary level. It is most commonly used in the context of education to denote the secondary level of schooling, which typically follows primary education and precedes higher education. In Hungary, the középfokú education system includes grades 9-12, equivalent to high school in other countries. This educational level provides more specialized instruction than primary education and prepares students for either vocational training or academic higher education. The term may also be used in other contexts to denote an intermediate level of proficiency, skill, or qualification. In language learning, for example, középfokú would refer to an intermediate level of language competency. The concept is important in Hungarian educational frameworks and is used to categorize institutions, programs, and qualifications that fall between basic and advanced levels.
