Interviewer instructions
Question P-16 and 16a -- Present school attendance

Question 16 has two parts, P-16, and P-16a. Only those who answer "Yes" to P-16 have to answer 16a. Those who answer "No" go straight to P-17, as 16a will not apply to them.




P-16 "Does (the person) presently attend an educational institution?"

Please include studies by correspondence/ distance education.

If the answer is "Yes", read out the options so that you can enter the correct code 2--8 in the box in the column headed "Institution".

If the person is attending an educational institution that is not listed, write code 8 in the box and specify under the box. Be careful not to write near the boxes.

If a learner is not attending school for a number of days because of illness, s/he is still regarded as attending school.

This question must be answered for all persons, regardless of age.

If "No", skip P-16a and go to Question P-17. If "Yes", ask the next question.
