Interviewer instructions
Questions for persons who are five years old or more

When you ask the questions: 5. Place of previous residency; 6. Indigenous language; 7. Religion; 8. Literacy; 9. School attendance; and 10. Grades completed, you should pay attention to the age of the person about whom you are requesting the information. Remember that these questions are only for persons who are five years old or more.




9. School attendance

This question should be asked of all persons who have completed five years or more, including the adults, since many older persons attend programs for adult education.

If the person goes to school to study or is enrolled in an open education system, it is considered that he/she attends school. If the person goes to a school to work because that is where he/she carries out his/her occupation, it is considered that the person does not go to school.
