Interviewer instructions
II. Educational characteristics -- for persons age 6 or older
Question No. 11, "What is the highest level that you attend or attended in establishments of regular education?", should be asked to all people who attend or attended educational establishments a one time .
Educational level will be understood to mean each one of the categories included in the Census document.
This classification is divided into two parts, A and B.
Look at the Census document.
When a person declares more than one level to you, you should find out which of them would be considered superior to the other.
For example, one cannot apply to high school without having finished primary school, therefore, it will be second secondary level.
Remember that in this case you should write down only the highest level finished.
If a person attended two equal courses, mark the one considered more important and register the other in the space meant for "Observations".
For question No. 12 "Did you finish this level?", you should mark "Yes" if an enumerated person passed the level answered in question No. 11.
