Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">Questions for persons aged seven and older only</span>
<br />If the person is less than seven, do not ask him/her question 13-24. Instead, go to the next person on the list.</p>

<p><span class="em">15. School attendance</span>
<br />School attendance means consistently taking classes in any grade or level that is part of the official educational structure of the country while attending any regular and accredited school, public or private.</p>

<p>Ask, "Are you currently attending a pre-primary, primary or secondary school, or an institution of higher education?" and mark an X in the appropriate circle.</p>

<p>If the person you are enumerating is between the ages of seven and fourteen and does not attend a school, ask the main reason for not attending and mark the appropriate circle. If they answer is "other reason," specify the reason.</p>

<p>[A graphic of box 15, "school attendance" is reproduced on the right-hand side of the page.]</p>

<p>Information related to the reason persons aged seven to fourteen are not attending school is important in implementing education policy. If the person is between seven and fourteen and is not attending a school you must record a reason. Do not leave this question blank!
