Spanish to English Other Education / Pedagogy
Hi, I'm translating a diploma bestowed by a person who has the following abbreviations before his name:

SOC FOC Jose A Echeverría

I did research his name which yielded no useful results.

I'd appreciate your feedback.

"El subsistema de Educación de Adultos actual en Cuba lo integran tres niveles educativos: Educación Obrera y Campesina (EOC), Secundaria Obrera y Campesina (SOC), Facultad Obrera y Campesina (FOC), en curso regular y por encuentro, además se da atención a las instalaciones penitenciarias a partir de convenio MINED - MININT y la enseñanza de idiomas extranjeros."

I would tend to disregard this as I do with other titles such as Lic., Ing., etc.

If you don't agree with this idea, perhaps mention it in brackets after the name?

On second thoughts, I think this is probably the name of a school/college!

agree philgoddard : Yes, it's the name of a school, not a person. I'd leave it in Spanish - it would sound odd in translation.

agree neilmac : When I saw the query I thought it meant "I am fire" in Catalan... :-)

Hi Emily. I just wanted to add that José Antonio Echeverría is actually the name of the school, taking after a Cuban revolutionary.
Note from asker:
Thank you, that's most helpful.

Anytime. Just to share a little trivia: I think there isn't a single school in Cuba which hasn't been named after a martyr, a hero or something relating to the Cuban Revolution.
