Yes, its a school discipline/subject - as in secondary school (Educação Básica). It's possible I have the abbreviation wrong - could be CFBPS - as I said for the other posting, its a poor quality scan. But definitely CV?PS.
Luiz Vasconcelos Dec 26, 2008:
Can you provide more context? Is it about continued teacher training? It could be Centros de Formação de Associações de Professores or what rhandler suggested, but I doubt it is an actual school discipline.
Fiona Stephenson (asker) Dec 26, 2008:
Perhaps I should clarify further. It's actually a school subject, with a grade and number of class hours.

Reference:

I never saw this abbreviation

But I found "Ciências Físicas e Biológicas da Primeira Série" in a ProZ glossary. It fits the context...
Note from asker:
Its a possibility, but the abbreviation appears for more than one series/grade
