Interviewer instructions
Title 10: Level of education
208. Write down as a number, on the dotted line, the last year of study passed by a person, corresponding to the class of instruction received in establishments of regular education.
209. Regular education is understood to be taught in establishments of public or private teaching, within the plans or programs of education officially passed in the country.
210. In the census document, eight principal classes of instruction have specifically been considered, plus an additional class [listed] under the general headline "Other", whose diverse particular cases will be correctly located in the process of revision of information after the enumeration. Immediately after the specific name of each class of instruction, a number between "0" (zero) and "8" is printed, which correspond to the code with which each case is differentiated. It is immediately after this code, on the dotted line, that the number corresponding to the year of studies passed is to be written down, within each class of instruction. So, for example, for a person who has passed the 4th year of primary school, once the notation has been made, it would read in the census document: "Primary 1 4"; if the 2nd year of secondary, it would read: "Secondary 2 2"; if the 3rd year of military, it would read: "Military 8 3", and so on according to the case.
[p. 34]
211. For a person who never has attended a center of education or has never passed a year of studies, write down a 0 (zero) for the following code corresponding to the headline "Without instruction" "0 0".
212. If a person does not remember the year nor the class of instruction received, write down the double symbol "XX", in the dotted line corresponding to the headline: "Other".
213. With reference to studies for determined professions, like law, medicine, economics, etc., some students are not able to be sure about what their last year of studies are that they have passed, because of computing the advancement of studies based on the number of classes passed. In this case, it will be sufficient to write down an "X" in the dotted line corresponding to the headline: "Faculty".
214. The class of education "Agrarian" will be understood to be the courses at the University of Work, in:
a) "General agrarian schools"; and
b) "Specialized agrarian schools" (school of dairy, winemaking, forestry, agriculture and livestock, farming mechanics, horticulture and fruits, poultry farming).
Also this includes education imparted by the non-official "agrarian schools" at the level of education similar to those that have just been mentioned, for example: "Jackson agrarian school" in Manga (department of Montevideo).
215. The agrarian education, imparted in the above centers of education, should not be confused with that given in the primary level of "farm schools" -- this depends on the national committee of primary and normal education. Those educated in these centers should be written down as class of instruction: primary.
216. "Industrial" education is understood to be courses at the University of Work in:
a) "Mono technical industrial schools" (mechanical and electrical schools, construction, commerce, applied arts industries, naval industries, feminine industries, graphic arts); and
b) Polytechnic industry schools and education imparted in private schools, but at a level of education similar to those above, for example: the "Don Bosco workshop school", the "Ort technical school".
217. Finally, under the headline "Other", all those cases of graduates, students of universities or conservatories, or of other institutions that do not require studies at the level of "Faculty" should be recorded, even if the classes are given in university classrooms or rooms. Among these cases are:
a) Education by university schools like: medical assistants (dieticians, physical therapists, radiologists, infant psychologists, laboratory clinic assistants, transfusion assistants, ophthalmologists, phono-audiologists, medical archive assistants).
b) Schools of fine arts: painters.
c) School of library science: librarians.
d) National conservatory of music: music professors.
e) University nursing school: university nurses.
[p. 35]
f) School of social service: social assistants.
g) Midwives.
h) Instituto de Profesores Artigas [secondary school teacher training institution].
i) Schools or institutes of commerce.
j) Other schools:
"Dr. Carlos Nery" school of nursing (Ministry of public health)
School of social service (Ministry of public instruction)
School of social service (Catholic)
218. For the appropriate treatment of cases that have just been specified, write down on the dotted line, in the most comprehensible form but at the same time as abbreviated as possible, the class of education received following the number that indicates the last year of studies passed. For example: "Dietician 1"; "Medical archive assistant 1" that can be abbreviated as "Ax. arch. med. 1"; "Social assistant 3"; "Commerce 1".
208. Write down as a number, on the dotted line, the last year of study passed by a person, corresponding to the class of instruction received in establishments of regular education.
