Cannot read or write simple sentences in Vietnamese, their own ethnic language, or a foreign language.
Were able to read or write before, but are currently not able to read or write for some reason.

There are only two choices ("yes" or "no") and interviewers should fill out only one box.

If a person can read and write, interviewers fill out box 1 "[] 1 Yes"
If a person cannot read and write, interviewers fill out box 2 "[] 2 No"

If interviewers don't know for sure that a person can read and write, interviewers can ask two separate questions "do you know how to read?" and "do you know how to write?". If that person answers "being able to read" and "being able to write", interviewers fill out box 1. If that person answers "being able to read but not able to write", interviewers fill out box 2.
