Interviewer instructions
Section 5 - Education
5.52 General
The aim of the section is to obtain information on the highest level of educational attainment among the entire population. Questions relate not just to current attendance but also to past attendance. As such, this section is relevant not only to school children but also to adults who may be furthering their education full-time or part-time.
You must pay close attention to the instruction on the questionnaire which precede the questions in this section.
5.53 For babies and young children not of school age, the question will obviously not be applicable. You should also be careful in the case of older persons who are not likely to be currently attending an educational institution, but for whom the questions on past attendance are applicable. It is recognized however, that adults do continue their education and the questions are therefore relevant.
5.58 Question 5.3 Last type of Institution Attended
This question is to be asked only of those persons who at Q5.2 indicated that they are attending an institution which is regarded as vocational, i.e. Vocational, Commercial and Secretarial and Other Tertiary. As our interest is in non-vocational education, this question is intended to obtain information related to non-vocational education received prior to this. You must read the categories to the respondent so that he or she will be aware of the types you are interested in.
These categories are similar to those appearing in Q5.2 and are described in paragraph 5.57.
