Question 15: School status
School status shall be as follows:

Never attended school: are those who never attended school, including those who have passed or never passed kindergarten and did not continue to elementary school.
Attending school are those who are still attending a formal school, starting from elementary, secondary or high school/equivalent.
No longer attending school are those who have attended elementary school, secondary or high school but during the enumeration are no longer attending a school.

If the answer in question 15 is coded 1 ("Never attended school"), continue to question 20. Leave questions 16 through 19 blank. If the answer is 2 or 3, then continue to question16.




Question 17: Highest year/grade ever attained/currently attending
Graduated is: has completed studies from a class/highest level of a school/education level and received a certificate/diploma either from a state or private school. A person who has not attended classes from a highest level of a school but has followed an examination and passed, is considered to be a graduate.
Explanation:

a. A person who has graduated from any formal education level is coded 8 ("Graduated").
b. A person who is attending a master program is coded 6
c. A person who is attending a doctoral program is coded 7
d. A person who is attending a Diploma I program is coded 1; if he/she has graduated, he/she is coded 8
e. A person who is attending the first year of a Diploma II program is coded 1; if he/she has graduated, he/she is coded 8

Note
For those who attend a university that uses the Credit Point System, information on the level/class that is currently attended can be obtained by asking extra questions as follows: "How many credit points have you achieved?" As guidance, a year is valued at 30 credits, so in order to determine how many levels/classes have been passed, please use the following conversion guide:

Total credit points achieved attending level/class:
0-30 credits = 1
31-60 credits = 2
61-90 credits = 3
91-120 credits = 4
121+ credits = 5

Example: if 57 credit points have been reached, then the respondent is in grade 2.
