Question No. 10: Do you currently attend school?

School attendance refers to both schools of regular education (official or private), as well as schools of vocational character that are not incorporated in the regular system of education (schools of 1, 2, or 3 years that teach dressmaking, beauty, mechanics, electricity, etc.). Also consider school attendance as any "pre-school" or "children center" and attendance at schools for persons with mental or physical deficiencies attendance in specialized courses that last six (6) months or more and attendance at courses for illiterates.
Mark with an "X" the corresponding circle in agreement with the response of the enumerated person.
Example:

[Below the text is a form and a picture of a schoolgirl.]

If at the moment of the Census the schools are closed for vacation, work stoppages, lack of teachers or another reason, and the enumerated person is a student waiting to renew classes, yes should be marked in question 10.
