Definition of item:

Basic / broad, general programmes are programmes designed to give a basic education
in reading, writing and arithmetic along with an elementary understanding of other
subjects such as history, geography, natural science, social science, art and music, and
in some cases religious instruction is featured. Basic programmes are normally given at
primary and lower secondary level. Broad, general programmes at upper secondary
level are also classified here – which should be the case even if there is some
concentration on a certain category of subject matter such as humanities, social science,
natural science etc. Vocational programmes are included only by way of exception.
Programmes with the following main content are classified here:

Basic programmes
Broad, general programmes
General programmes with no special subject emphasis

Inclusions:

Broad, general programmes at upper secondary level (in some countries at lower
secondary level) with some emphasis on e.g. humanities, social science, natural science
without neglecting other fields of knowledge are included in this field. In some
countries such programmes are given in a kind of modular system. These programmes
should also be classified here.

Exclusions:

Programmes that are considered as general in the program orientation meaning (nonvocational) but have a clear emphasis on a subject or a group of subjects are excluded
from this field and are included in one of the fields 1-8, depending on the subject.
