Interviewer instructions
Section IV: Questions regarding individual characteristics (11-42)
This section includes questions (questions 11-42) about the population's social and economic characteristics. In this section, only write the characteristics of those people present at the time and place where the census is being conducted.
Whether or not the household head is at home, be absolutely sure to begin by first writing his/her name and surname on the first line of Section IV, together with all of his/her characteristics (from question 11 to question 42). Take care that the household head's name and surname entered in this section is identical to the one written in in the first line of Section III.
After writing down all of the characteristics of the household head, whether he/she is at home or not, also write down all the characteristics of the other household members at home, beginning from the oldest and proceeding in order of age, from oldest to youngest. After the household members, write onto the dotted line in printed letters, in order of their ages, the names surnames and all the characteristics of those, who, while being present at home, are not household members. Answer questions with a box, by placing an "X" into it.



Educational status (27-28)



Question 28: Which is highest level of school that you completed?

(Persons age 6 or older who are literate)

(Primary, middle, secondary, commercial secondary school, medical faculty, teachers training college, etc.)

Write down the educational level and branch of the person being administered the census in a way that clearly specifies them. In determining the person's educational level and branch, pay attention to the following points:


For those who had not graduated from any educational institution, write "None".
Write "Elementary" for those who had completed a five-year elementary school. Attention! Do not consider those completing a three-year elementary school as an elementary school graduate.
Consider those who had participated in literacy courses and who obtained an elementary school diploma as elementary school graduates, and write "Elementary".
For middle school graduates, write "Middle".
For secondary school graduates, write "Secondary school".
For those who had completed a vocational school, write the educational level and name. As for example: "Commercial secondary school, vocational secondary school".
For university faculty, and college graduates, write the name of the school that they graduated from. As for example: "Law faculty", "Construction faculty", "Chemistry faculty", "Teachers' college".
