Learn English – What does ‘Highest School’ mean

meaningmeaning-in-context

When filling up my personal information for a job application, I'm asked about my Highest School and Second Highest School. After this field, they ask for Highest Degree.

Does Highest School mean the type of institution (High School, University) or the name of it?

Best Answer

Usually, this would be worded as "highest school completed", but it is sometimes shorted to "highest school". Generally, the answer would be the level, e.g. if you have a Masters degree but not a Ph.D you would put down "Master's Degree".

Unless there are spaces for further details like degree attained, field of study, years attended, or GPA. Then I would assume that it is asking for the specific institution.
