Interviewer instructions
Persons age 3 or older
The questions of this part have the purpose of knowing the educational level of the population, both on the plane of regular education, as well as training courses or non-regular education, offered by public and private organizations, in this country or abroad.




Question 12. Of all the following levels of education, what is the highest that you attended?
A

[] Never attended (mark and go to Question 16)
[] Preschool
[] Primary
[] High school or second basic cycle

B

[] Preparatory or secondary second cycle

[] Military or police career


Read all the possible options. Do not forget that you should fill in the box corresponding to a single option, at the highest level reached within the list.

When a person declares to you more than one level, you should find out which of them came after the other and consider it superior. Remember that in all cases, you should write down only the highest level reached. For example, you should not write "High school" without having finished primary school, therefore the highest will be the secondary level.

If a person claims to attend or attended UTU, remember that you should write in down here only if it is "Basic cycle", common with secondary reached in UTU.

Any other course of UTU -- technical or commercial -- will be considered to be written down in Question 16. In this case, in Question 12 will be written down the previous level reached in UTU in regular, not technical or commercial education.

If a person claims to have never attended any center of education, fill in the box corresponding to the option "Never attended", leave the following questions blank and ask Question 16. If it is the contrary, go to Question 13.
