Jim Thanks for the explanation I am sorry to appear a bit dim we don't have this term here although we have something similar in terms of the concept. We have a project developing materials for undergraduate/graduate/post graduate students to improve their employability so hopefully we have something that fits your agenda. We will be in touch soon.

Our use of this term was a shorthand to essentially cover all structured educational systems/sectors. In the US, the more common terms are "K-12" or "K-16." Best.
