Interviewer instructions
The reference period in this question is very important. It is specified that the problems related to the educational institution should have occurred during the past 6 months. This is a multiple-response question; therefore each option has to be read to the respondent. For any response that is not pre-coded, the related problem can be specified under the option 'Other'. None of the codes should be left blank. The answer should be either 'Yes' or 'No'.
