Educational Characteristics


For all persons five years old and older.

1. We will pass now to examine the item Educational Characteristics of Chapter C-Population.

Here you will note the data for all of the persons five years old and older.

[An example for children to be enumerated is not presented here.]


Now let's look at question number 9 of the item Educational Characteristics.

We understand as school attendance going to school, at the date of the census, to an official educational establishment, private or public, at the elementary, secondary, university, or other level.

They are official educational establishments, for example:

--Teacher's Training School, number 4
--Superior Professorship in Biological Sciences
--School number 5 of the Educational Center 7
--La Salle private school
--Post-graduate course in the Medical Faculty


The Pitman Academy, the Teniente Sewing School, the Lingaphone Institute, etc., are not official educational establishments.

The son of Mr. Pereira attends the National Business School number 2. Which box would you mark?
[x] 1 Attends?
[ ] 2 Does not attend but attended?
[ ] 3 Never attended?
[ ] 4 Does not know
