At today's telecon we discussed rewording the L3SC5 as follows (emphasis indicates the change): When text requires reading ability above the lower secondary education level, one or more of the following supplements is available: * A text summary that requires reading ability no higher than primary education level. * Graphical illustrations of concepts or processes that must be understood in order to use the content. * A spoken version of the text content. John further proposes changing the first item to, "A text summary that requires reading ability below the lower secondary education level" for consistency with the proposed wording for the SC "trigger" and eliminate the need for the definition of "upper secondary education level." This sounds good to me. If there are no objections, I'll including the following proposals in a survey to the WCAG WG: When text requires reading ability above the lower secondary education level, one or more of the following supplements is available: * A text summary that requires reading ability below the lower secondary education level * Graphical illustrations of concepts or processes that must be understood in order to use the content. * A spoken version of the text content. With the following definition (as well as those for primary education level, supplement and education level that we agreed on during the call): <dl> <dt>Lower secondary education level</dt> <dd>Typically, the two- or three-year period of education that begins after completion of six years of school and ends nine years after the beginning of primary education, according to the International Standard Classification of Education (UNESCO 1997); in some countries the end of lower secondary education coincides with the end of compulsory education.</dd> </dl> Source: http://www.unesco.org/education/information/nfsunesco/doc/isced_1997.htm Retrieved 14 September 2005
