Interviewer instructions
19. National languages (literacy)
The question related to this variable is only relevant for people 12 years and older.

Literacy is an individual's aptitude for reading and writing, and the ability to understand a text in relation to facts of everyday life, in any language (national language, foreign language).

In the Questionnaire, we've written national languages in the plural; however, for the standard order questions, this question only relates to literacy of the main national language. Also, there is only one answer possible for each eligible individual.

-Ask if the surveyed person knows how to read and write in the any national language.

If the answer is Yes, ask him the following question:

Q. In what main national language does the surveyed person know how to best read and write?
