Higher as in, a better qualification e.g. a certificate one is lower than a certificate 2 etc. which one of the two is better or 'higher'. Which one is considered a lower education than the other?
Well, there was a thread posted in a different section a few days ago where this link was posted http://www.theguardian.com/education/2009/nov/17/a-levels-degrees-narrow-education-broaden
Saying that the HSC was considered a more widely recognized qualification than the A-Levels
AFAIK HSC = VCE in terms of qualification so I guess you would say VCE is better than A-Levels? lol
