Editing College (section)

===Zimbabwe===

The term college is mainly used by private or independent secondary schools with Advanced Level (Upper 6th formers) and also Polytechnic Colleges which confer diplomas only. A student can complete secondary education (International General Certificate of Secondary Education, [[IGCSE]]) at 16 years and proceed straight to a poly-technical college or they can proceed to Advanced level (16 to 19 years) and obtain a General Certificate of Education ([[General Certificate of Education|GCE]]) certificate which enables them to enroll at a university, provided they have good grades. Alternatively, with lower grades, the GCE certificate holders will have an added advantage over their [[GCSE]] counterparts if they choose to enroll at a polytechnical college. Some schools in Zimbabwe choose to offer the [[International Baccalaureate]] studies as an alternative to the [[IGCSE]] and GCE.
