<svar a="all" v="BR10A431"><span class="em">For all ages<br /> <br />6.28 - Do you go to school or daycare?</span><br />Depending on the situation, record:<br /> <br /><div class="i1">1 - Yes, a public school/day care - A person who attends school or day care in the public sector.<br />2 - Yes, a private school/day care - A person who attends school or day care in the private sector.</div><br /> <br /><span class="pg">[page 214]</span><br /> <br /><div class="i1">3 - No, but have attended before: A person who does not attend school or daycare, but haa attended in the past.<br />4 - No, never attended: A person who has never attended school or daycare.</div><br /><br />Now, it is important that you learn key information for the accurate completion of this question!<br /><br />Consider the following types of school or day care in which the person is enrolled and attending:<br /><ul class="b1">
<li>Child daycare (consider as a child care center a place in which a child at early ages attends during the day);</li>
<li>Pre-school (or kindergarten);</li>
<li>Literacy class - CA;</li>
<li>Youth and Adult Literacy - AJA;</li>
<li>Regular courses - elementary school or secondary school;</li>
<li>Youth and Adult Education - EJA or alternative elementary school or secondary school;</li>
<li>Higher Education, Master's degree or PhD, and</li>
<li>Professional degree (minimum of 360 hours).</li>
</ul><br /> <br /><span class="pg">[page 215]</span><br /> <br />Besides a person who attends courses on site, you should also consider a person attending school at any educational level (primary, secondary or higher) in the form <span class="em">of Long Distance Education -EAD</span>, accredited by the MEC for this type of teaching.<br /> <br /><span class="em">What is it?<br />What is Long Distance Learning (EAD)?</span><br />This mode of learning is based on teaching-learning via technology, which allows the learning process to be versatile, since the interaction between teacher and students can happen at different times and in different physical spaces. Besides that, long distance education also allows for classroom activities.<br /> <br /><span class="em">But what if the person is temporarily impaired to attend classes due to illness, etc.?</span><br />In this case, consider that person as attending school. <br />Do not consider a person attending school if the setting is:<br /><ul class="b1">
<li>A short vocational or cultural course, such as sewing, dance, languages, computing;</li>
<li>Higher education, for professional development or as an extension of previous education;</li>
</ul><br /> <br /><span class="pg">[page 216]</span><br /> <br /><ul class="b1">
<li>Elementary and Secondary Schools (2nd grade) courses offered via radio and television or by correspondence, and</li>
<li>Pre-university courses.</li>
</ul><br /><br />Now, you know how to consider if a person is attending school or daycare. However, it is necessary to distinguish when the school or day care center is classified as public or private, as there is one answer for each item.<br /><br />Consider as:<br />Public Sector- federal, state and municipal schools and day care centers. <br /><br />Private Sector- private schools or day care centers, including some establishments funded by neighborhood associations, businesses, foundations and donations.<br /><br />Whenever the person attended more than one school (public or private) you should count the sector in which the person received the highest level of education.<br /><br /><span class="em"> Attention! </span><br />If a person studies a certification or technical degree program and, simultaneously, college, consider college as the highest level.<br /> <br /><span class="pg">[page 217]</span><br /> <br /><span class="em">So, how about a resident who is not currently in school but previously attended school?</span><br /><br />This refers to residents who are not currently enrolled in school, but previously attended school, in any of the courses mentioned above whether public or private.<br /><br />Did you know what names were used in the Brazilian educational system, in earlier times? Let's learn about them!<br />The old education system in Brazil had:<br /><ul class="b1">
<li>1st level - divided into eight grades;</li>
<li>2nd level- structured in three or four grades;</li>
<li>3rd level or higher - its structure varied according to the course. At this level, students could earn credit or courses according to the discipline, either by semesters, or yearly.</li>
</ul><br /><br />The system of education prior to the one above, had:<br /><ul class="b1">
<li>Elementary (elementary school) - divided into four, five or six grades, depending on the era;</li>
<li>1st Level (middle school) - divided into four or five sets, depending on the time;</li>
<li>2nd level (classic, scientific, etc.) - Structured in three or four grades, depending on the time, and</li>
<li>Higher education- structured according to the discipline.</li>
</ul><br /> <br /><span class="pg">[page 218]</span><br /> <br />Also consider as having attended school a person that took the tests according to Article 99 (1st level or 2nd level for middle school) or alternative (elementary or first level or second year) and approved the course, even if she/he never went to school.<br /><br /><span class="em">And the person who never attended?</span><br />This situation is for the person who never attended any course included in the definition of school attendance.<br /></svar>
