Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Yvonne Gallagher

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.

A school council (conseil d'école) is set up in all establishments which are composed of a place of primary level teaching which is under the responsibility of a school head teacher.
When the establishment is only comprised of primary teaching, the 'conseil d'école' carries out the tasks of the board of governors.
A committe responsible for the internal organisation of a secondary school (conseil du second degré) is set up in establishments where there is secondary level teaching.
A board of governors (conseil d’établissement) reponsible for the primary and secondary teaching and, should it be necessary, the post-bac classes is set up as soon as a 'conseil d'école' and an a 'conseil du second degré' exist within the establishment.
