It has been proposed to move Category:Middle schools in Shenzhen to Category:Secondary schools in Shenzhen

Reason: The Chinese use "中学" to mean any school with secondary education, but in the United States "middle school" just means lower secondary school (in Chinese that would be "初中" while senior high school would be "高中". Translating this as secondary school would be a better translation in English that would be more universally understood.

Date: tagged 28 September 2024.
