The General Certificate of Education (GCE) is a subject-specific family of academic qualifications used in awarding bodies in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Crown dependencies and a few Commonwealth countries. For some time, the Scottish education system has been different from those in the other countries of the United Kingdom. The GCE is composed of three levels; they are, in increasing order of difficulty: * the Ordinary Level ("O Level"); * the Advanced Subsidiary Level ("A1 Level" or "AS Level"), higher than the O Level, serving as a level in its own right, and functioning as a precursor to the full Advanced Level; and * Advanced Level ("A Level"). The General Certificate of Education Advanced Level (GCE "A Levels") is an entry qualification for universities in the United Kingdom and many other locations worldwide. (en)

普通教育证书(General Certificate of Education,简称GCE)是使用英語教育系統國家的考试制度,1951年起主要在英格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰实行,后推广到英国各殖民地,一般來說是一年兩次。 1947年,英国将中学从3年制改为4年制,学生因此能够选修更多课程。1951年英国政府决定用GCE取代较早的HSC(高等中學畢業證書,Higher School Certificate)和SC(,School Certificate)系统。在GCE制度中,高中毕业生(16岁)参加普通程度考试(GCE 'O' Level),大学预科毕业生(18岁)参加高级程度考试(GCE A-Level)。 1988年,英国的GCE O-Level考试由新的「普通中等教育证书」(中等教育普通證書,简称 GCSE)所取代,但是在一些英联邦国家(如马来西亚),O-Level考試存在至2006年,主要原因是GCSE的課程內容較原來的GCE O-Level為淺,與他們本身的教學水平不符。 一些以前的英國殖民地,如香港、新加坡、馬耳他、南非、斯里蘭卡也會舉行相近類型的考試,但由於教育制度已經發生改變,在這些地方的GCE O-Level課程通常已在風格、系統上有了較大轉變。 (zh)
