Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="CR73A416 CR73A417 CR73A429"><span class="h2">21.- Question No. 15.- Level of instruction</span><br /><br />Like the previous question, this one should be asked only to <span class="em">persons 6 years old or older</span>. Write the number of the highest grade or year that a person has <span class="em">passed</span>. In this question it is necessary to insist a little, since, generally, a person tends to say the grade or year <span class="em">that the person is in</span>; while the <span class="em">last passed is what is to be known</span>.<br /><br />You should write down the number of the grade or year in the corresponding line agreeing with the level of education. If a person does not remember the information exactly, but knows they attended primary school, secondary school or university, write down a "d" (which means unknown in the respective line.<br /><br />Many university students take subjects of different years, always write down the last year that they have <span class="em">completely passed</span>.<br /><br />In the case of university graduates, who although they are have not taken the exams to obtain their professional title, the last year passed should always be written down. If a person has a university degree medical, law, or economy, etc., write a "<span class="em">G</span>" (which means <span class="em">graduated</span>) in the line that says "University".<br /><br />When a person <span class="em">has not passed</span> any grade, mark the box that has this name "No Grade"; this box should be marked for two groups of persons, namely:<br /><br />Those being 6 or more years old, never have attended school.<br /><br />Children or any other person <span class="em">who is taking</span> first grade in primary education.<br /></svar>
