The abbreviation of Voorbereidend Wetenschappelijk Onderwijs is VWO. It is translated in English to pre-university secondary education.
Pre-university secondary education is a form of secundary education for
the smartest kids. Kids following pre-university secondary education
often continue their study at a postgraduate study. However,
pre-university secondary education is not completely similar to an
undergraduate study, because the subjects are more general and less profound.
