Question 16: Level of instruction
16. What is the last grade or year that [name] passed?
This question should be asked of all people whose age is 5 years or older. This refers to the last year or grade passed by the person, in regular learning.
No grade: when the person does not attend kindergarten or prep school. This includes the children that currently attend daycare, nursery school, or preschool.
Special education: in this category are classified the people that have passed some of the levels of special education.
Kindergarten or school prep: this refers to the grade or year of preschool immediately prior to the first year of elementary school.
This option will be marked for all the people that effectively passed this level. This category does not include the children that are currently attending this level (even though they have attended for various years), since in these cases you must mark the option "no grade."
Remember that for the options "no grade," "special education," or "kindergarten or prep school" you only need to fill the ovals corresponding to "level."
In the following options you must mark the category corresponding to the level of learning and in addition you must mark in the corresponding oval of the "last year passed"
