Titles in Venezuela start with the "Certificado de Educación Básica" (Certificate of Basic Education), awarded upon completing 9th grade. The next title is earned upon completing 11th grade and may be "Bachiller en Ciencias" (High School Graduate of Science), "Bachiller en Humanidades" (High School Graduate of Humanities) or "Técnico en Ciencias" (Science Technician). The reason for this diversity is because some schools provide vocational education as part of their high school curriculum (thereby allowing them to hand out "Technician" titles) while elsewhere, the student is required to decide whether to study Sciences or Humanities for the last two years of secondary school.
