When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

It has to be the French system, in Rome my French school had this system. See this site: http://www.tanzania.go.tz/education.html. Tanzania has a national system, but in Egypt there's the national, British, American, German and French systems.
Jack Dunwell May 5, 2008:
That sorts it out!
Anne de Freyman (X) May 5, 2008:
Well, there's your answer, it's a lycée therefore a French school.
Hattie Hill (asker) May 5, 2008:
Lycee de la Lumiere
Anne de Freyman (X) May 5, 2008:
So the first possibility is that it is a diploma from a French school. Does it not say on the document?
Hattie Hill (asker) May 5, 2008:
I know that it was a former German and then British colony. However, the diploma is in French and it says "1ere"...
Anne de Freyman (X) May 5, 2008:
There is a French school (Arthur Rimbaud) in Dar Es-Salaam. Like all French schools abroad, they follow the French system.
Jack Dunwell May 5, 2008:
Hattie, as the official language of Tanzania is Kiswahili/Swahili; education being in this and English and the past being German/English, first thoughts are that system is likely to be ex English Colonial. I am ready to be corrected!!

If the lycee is the Ecole française Arthur Rimbaud, Dar Es-Salaam, then it's almost certain to be the French system. See web reference
