For employed persons, the workplace should be answered here, where the daily profession can be found. Because the address of the workplace is promoted for the commuter statistics, the address of the management is therefore not intended but the building, or rather meeting place from which they are brought to the workplace. For police officer it is the patrol office, for traveling salesmen, if need be, it is their own dwelling, etc. Only employed persons who have a different workplace everyday, in order that an answer is futile, should answer "alternating work sites".
For pupils and students, here give the specific type of school (e.g. "technical school for electrical engineering", "advanced technical apprenticeship for electrical engineering") or the address of this school. Therefore all children must give an answer here who are 6 years and older. Unemployed persons and active duty personnel should give the previous work site or the school last visited.

Someone who completed JC under the old educational system will be coded 23, while someone who completed JC under the new system will be coded 22.
If the person has attended or is attending University, enter the number of completed years the person has spent attending University as follows:
For a person still doing preliminary courses, e.g. the Pre-Entry Science Course (PESC), enter 25 or 26 as may be appropriate.
In the sample questionnaire on page 24, James completed Standard 3, so he is coded 13. Since Anne never attended school, a dash is entered in column A10 for her. Mimi is not yet 5 years old, so the question does not apply to her - a dash appears in column A10. Anthony is currently in Standard 7; since the highest standard which he has completed is Standard 6, 16 is entered for him. Molelo is currently in Standard 5 (code 14), and David completed Standard 7 (code 17). Thembe dropped out of Standard 5, so she completed Standard 4 and is coded 14.

Line No. 12.- Last grade or year completed
Like the previous question, this one should be asked only to persons 7 years old or older.
Write the number of the highest grade or year that a person has passed. In this question it is necessary to insist a little, since, generally, a person tends to say the grade or year that the person is in; while the last passed is what is to be known.
You should write down the number of the grade or year in the corresponding line agreeing with the level of education. If a person does not remember the information exactly, but knows they attended primary school, secondary school or university, write down a "d" (which means unknown in the respective line.
Many university students take subjects of different years, always write down the last year that they have completely passed.
In the case of university graduates, who although they are have not taken the exams to obtain their professional title, the last year passed should always be written down. If a person has a university degree (medical, law, or economy, etc.), write a "G" (which means graduated) in the line that says "University".
When a person has not passed any grade, mark the box that has this name (No Grade); this box should be marked for two groups of persons, namely:
1) Those being 7 or more years old, never have attended school.
2) Children or any other person who is taking first grade in primary education.

Question 9: Educational level
The level of instruction of a person corresponds to the highest passed year of study within the highest education cycle that has been studied in the regular system of education.
[Below the text is a form.]
It is advisable that you ask the question as it is asked in the form, but you can add a "that is to say" or a "that is" and continue the question according to the case. What is the last year or grade that you took in school, secondary school or the university?
You should find out what was the last year or grade that they really passed and not what they are taking in school, secondary school or the university. If the person tells you none, then simply mark the circle preceded by the words "No grade". If they tell you the first grade of school or the second or the third, etc. then you should mark with an X the circle that follows the word "Primary" and write down the number 1, 2, 3, etc. in the open little box that follows. As you know here you should only write down up to the number 6, since primary school only goes to the sixth grade. In the case of "Secondary or middle education", the number of years up to 5 or 6 and in "University" it can go up to 9 years. In each situation you should always mark with an X the corresponding circle and then the number of the year passed. If the highest level is "equivalence" (bachillerato por madurez), "25" is written down.
In a similar manner certificates of primary education are written down.
The equivalence in the current system of education is the following:
[p. 51]
Primary:
II Cycle: Fourth, fifth and sixth grade.
IV Cycle or diversified education: Forth, fifth and sixth year.
11. What is the last grade or year of regular schooling that ____ completed?
Question 11: Level of Instruction
This question has as its objective capturing the level of advanced schooling by the population as an indicator of the social development of the country and of the grade or quality of its human resources.
[To the right of the text is a form.]
As the question indicates, you are interested in knowing the last grade or year passed and not that which they are currently enrolled in. Keep in mind that the category "kindergarten or preparatory" refer only to having passed the year of preschool immediately before the first grade of primary education; Of this form, if the boy or girl is attending kindergarten, even if they have fulfilled many years of preschool education, you should mark with "X" in "No grade".
[Below the text is a picture of two schoolchildren.]
If the enumerated person responds "No grade" or "Preparatory or Kindergarten" only mark with "X" the corresponding circles. If a person only passed years of special education, in which one does not advance in grades like those of common school, mark circle 0 of "No grade".
[p. 65]
In the remaining options you should indicate with "X" the corresponding category, and also write down the last year passed.
[Below the text is a picture of a student.]
For primary the numbers possible that you will be able to write down go from 1 to 6 (first to sixth grade); in secondary the maximum written number for you will be 5 for middle academic education and 6 for technical. In associate degree the highest number written down for you should be 3, and 9 for university education.
If the interviewed person does not know completely the last year passed by the enumerated person, you should mark, at least, the circle that corresponds to the level.
16. What is the last grade or year that [the respondent] passed?
Level
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"
[p. 153]
according to the following ranges. If the informant does not know the last year passed, you must mark at least the level.
Elementary school: the possible numbers that you could mark are 1 to 6.
Secondary school: the last year passed will be 1 to 5. If the person finishes the 5th year but did not take all the exams of the high school, mark 5th year.
Secondary technical school: the last year passed will be 1 to 6. If the person concludes the 6th year but did not pass the high school exams, mark 6th year.
Prep universities: the last year passed will be from 1 to 3.
Universities: the last year passed will be from 1 to 9.

This question refers to the regular education that the enumerated person could have received or is receiving in a normal elementary, secondary school, or University. Therefore, education from schools with different purposes is not considered. E.g. fine arts schools, home economics schools, arts and crafts schools, industrial schools, commercial schools, etc.
The annotation that should be recorded in this space is defined below according to the different types of education or schools.
The grade equivalent to the Dominican system is recorded for foreigners or for those who have received their education abroad.
The word "None" is recorded for those who do not know how to read or write, or for those who have attended school but who have not completed any academic year.
Some persons, principally those who are advanced in age, will claim to know how to read and write but will not be able to specify the last academic year completed because they did not receive a regular or systematic education according to the current educational programs. In these cases, the grade in primary school that the enumerator considers would correspond to the person, after investigating the type of knowledge acquired by the enumerated person, is recorded.
8. Level of schooling. At what level were the last studies undertaken by the enumerated person? Vocational schooling (commercial, industrial, teacher-training, and in agricultural institutes) should be classified as secondary.
9. Last grade completed. What was the highest grade completed by the enumerated person in the level indicated?
44. What is the highest level that you studied or are studying?
45. Did you complete this level?
46. What is the highest grade or year completed at this level?
[p. 58]
Question 44: What is the highest level studied?
The alternatives are read in the indicated order and the corresponding circle is filled in.
Question 45: Was this level completed?
The corresponding circle is filled in.
Question 46: What is the last year or grade completed at this level?
The year or grade completed, and not the current year or grade, is recorded.
Zero is recorded for those who have not yet completed the first grade or year.
For those indicating university: trimester, semester, or year is recorded according to the case.
40. If [the respondent] is currently attending school (question 38, answer 1 or 2): What course is he/she attending and at what level? If the answer was that [the respondent] is not currently attending school, but attended in the past (question 38, answer 4): What was the last year of study that [the respondent] completed, and at what level?
41. Did [the respondent] complete this level?
Question 40: If the person currently attends school (question 38, code 1 or 2), ask the following: During the current school year, what level and grade is (NAME) attending?
First fill in the bubble that correspond to the level he/she answered, then record the number of finished years that he/she completed in the next box. (You should remember that at the college, level, master's or doctorate level, a year of study equals to a 4 trimesters or 3 quarters or 2 semesters).
If the person answered options 1, 2, 3, or 4, skip to question 43.
If the person answers the he/she is not currently going to school that in the past went to school (question 38 code 4), you should ask the following: What is the highest level of school (NAME) has attended and what is the highest grade (NAME) completed at that level?
Fill in the bubble corresponding to the declared level and record the number of years/grade that the person attended in the corresponding box.
If the person answers option 9, skip to question 45.
Question 41: Did (NAME) complete that level?
This question is only for the people that attended or attends at the level of college, university, master's or doctorate. Fill in the bubble accordingly to the answers "Yes" or "No".
37. What is the highest level of school [the respondent] has attended: Preschool, primary/basic, secondary/high school, university?
38. What is the last level of school [the respondent] has completed?
The level of education refers to, "each stage of the educational system that is determined by the cognitive, emotional, and physical development of students as well as their social needs" (Art. 31, Section (a), of the Law of General Education 66-97, of the Dominican Republic). This question is aimed inasmuch as people who currently attend an academic institution as those who attended in the past.
Chart 1 shows the structure of the education system in the Dominican Republic, exhibiting the years of study, according to the level:
Preschool or Early Childhood Learning- Three years long
Primary or Basic Level if Education- Eight years long
Secondary or High School- Four years long
College or University- Approximately five years long
Postgraduate Studies- Approximately five years long
This question inquires about the last year of school completed by the person being surveyed in the highest level of education that he/she is studying or has studied. It is important to remember that this means the actual years of school completed, therefore the level he/she is currently attending or any incomplete levels he/she attended do not count.
Record in the corresponding boxes the last level of school the person completed and then skip to question 42.
In order to illustrate how to record the last level of school [the respondent] has completed, see the following examples:
41. How many years did [the respondent] studied at the college, master's or doctorate level, including a specialty?
The number of completed years a person has studied are the sum of the years of study corresponding to a career, a specialty, a master's degree or a doctorate.
Find the total number of years of university studies, based on the information in chart 1 from the previous pages.
[Page 71]
These questions are only asked for people who are 5 years of age or older, as verified by question 29 about the age of the respondents.
The goal of the following questions is to compile information about migration, internal and international, occurring in the country between November 2005 and November 2010.
For those 6 years of age and older:

Question 12. What is the last grade or highest year that he/she completed in the indicated level?
Write the name of the grade, course of year that the person has passed in the level that the person indicated in the previous question. Take into account that, generally, the person answers the grade that he/she is currently attending and what the question asks is the last grade passed. For example, if he/she is attending second year of the university, write 1.
If the educational system in the university is a semester system, two semesters correspond to one year. On the other hand, for persons who passed or are studying in a literacy center, one year is the equivalent of two years of elementary school.
For example:
The person finished the third level of a literacy center, you should mark box 6.
For persons who are attending the first year of any level, mark box "0".

Question 14.- What is the last grade, course, or highest year that you passed at the level that you indicated?
[There is a picture of question 14 from this section of the enumeration form.]
Mark the box of the highest grade, course, or year that the person passed at the level they indicated in question 13 (what is the highest level of instruction that you are attending or attended?). Remember that, generally, the informant will state the grade or year that they are in; what we want to know is the last year that they passed. For example: If they are in the first year of basic, mark box 00. If they are in the fourth year at the university, mark box 3.
[There is a drawing of a man holding up 3 fingers, and box 3 for this question on the enumeration form is checked.]
If the system of studies in the university is by semesters, two correspond to one year. In contrast, for those who passed or are studying in a literacy center, one level equals two years of primary. Example:

Each household member aged five years and over will be first asked if he/she can read and write. A person is said to be able to read and write if he/she can read and understand and also write in any language. People can read and write only their names and numbers are not considered as having educational qualification. Also those who can read only scripture- related and memorized texts are not taken as having been educated.
If the person does not read and write, the term "illiterate" will be entered in column 30 and "00" in card columns 55 and 56. However if the household member is able to read and write, he/she will be asked the highest grade he/she completed and then the correct code for the response among those in the list will be registered in the space provided in column 30 in line with the household member and this same code will be entered in card columns 55 and 56.
Highest grade completed refers to the highest educational grade individuals are currently attending or the highest grade level they completed in the past under the available curriculum in regular schools, universities, training institutes and the like.
The highest grade the household member completed will be registered in the space provided corresponding to the household member in column 30. Then the correct code among those listed below will be identified and entered in card columns 55 and 56.
To determine the highest grade completed for a person who has attended or still attending other than regular school and university the number of academic years completed in the institution or equivalent level is added on the grade or level completed in regular school. For example, if some years ago the requirement for entrance to a nursing school was to complete eighth grade in regular education, and the course in the nursing school takes three years to complete the professional training then grade completed will be calculated as: 8 + 3 = 11. Hence 11 will be entered in card columns 55 and 56.
But if the requirement for admission to a nursing school was completion of 11tth grade from regular schools, then the situation has to be treated differently. One who completes a three-year nursing training without any repetition and having no further regular education is said to have completed 14, i.e. /11 + 3/. For people who have attended or currently attending evening schools, teachers training institutes, commercial, technical, telecommunications, etc. schools or institutes, their highest grade completed will have to be determined in the same way.
One thing worth noting here is that the highest grade completed for a person who has studied in different educational institutions will be the highest grade among these. For example, let us assume a nurse completed 11th grade in regular school and also 3 years training in nursing school and later completed 12th grade in evening school and further pursued her education in the university extension program for three years. The highest grade this person completed is: First) grade completed in regular school (11) plus years completed in nursing institute (3) equals 14. On the other hand if she has completed 11th grade in regular school and completed 12th grade in extension session of regular school and further completed 3rd year education in a university, then the highest grade she completed will be 15 /11 + 1 + 3/. If she completed a three year education above 12th grade under a program unintended to obtain degree, code "20" will be entered in card columns 55 and 56 or code "21" will be entered in the card columns under a program intended to obtain a degree.
As can be understood from the second example above, the standard of some vocational training institutes does not match with that in regular schools and universities. And this does not have to create any confusion because the required data is highest grade completed not the school or institute standard people have attended or are still attending.
Five years and above
[Questions 26-27 were asked of resident members age 5+.]
Educational status
26. Enter grade enrolled for those now attending school
[Questions 18-20 were asked of long form respondents age 5+.]
19. Is [the respondent] currently attending school?
Questions from 18-20 refer to only members of a given household aged 5 years and over. During the time of enumeration information on the ability of the person to read and write with the language he/she speaks, the school attendance status of the person and the highest grade the individual has completed will be asked and collected. All questions refer to the literacy and educational status of individuals aged 5 years and over at the period of the census.
Question 19:- Is [the respondent] currently attending school?
For those members of a household who are reported to be attending school at the time of the census, the grade levels they are attending will be asked and the information obtained will be filled in the given questionnaire and shaded. For those persons who are not attending school during the time of the census but had attended sometime in the past, code 97 will be assigned. For individuals who have never attended code 98 will be given and the enumerator should skip to question 21 without asking question 20.
This question refers to the current school attendance status of persons aged 5 year and over. All eligible persons will be asked and based on the information obtained the appropriate code will be assigned from the given list of codes. Persons who are currently attending school (those attends school at the time of enumeration) are those who are attending formal education in schools, training institutions, universities, colleges and etc... and persons who attend informal education like religious education at the time of enumeration. The education can be given by either paid or unpaid/volunteer persons/teachers.
Persons who are trying to adopt some skills during spare time with the help of their relatives or persons whom they know are not considered as individuals who are attending school such as, daily laborers who try to acquire some skills about carpentry, mechanical works and sewing while working. Nevertheless, those who are acquiring skills in training institutions at the time of the census are taken as persons who are attending school.
For those who attend in the formal educational institutions are given codes from "00" to "14" and from "20" to "22". For individuals who are reported to be attending informal education such as religious education, skill development like typing, carpentry, mechanical works, driving, sewing and etc..., code 96 will be assigned and shaded. Moreover for persons who are found to be attending adult education, code 95 will be given.
Those who are stated under category 1 are individuals who attended school at some point of time in the past but currently found to be not attending because of dropout or completion of the programme. For those cases code 97 will be given. However, member of a given household who stated under category 2 are the one who have never attended any form of education and for them code 98 will be assigned. However persons who were attending school but reported to be not attending at the time of the census due to the end of academic year or vacation should be considered as cases, which attend school. For instance, students who had attended grade 8 or 10 during the academic year and taken exam prior to the time of census but found to be not attending due to the end of the academic year are given code that corresponds to persons attending grade 8 or 10.
For the purpose of enabling the enumerators to assign and mark the necessary codes to the information obtained, the list of level of grades which the respondents attend at the time of census with their corresponding list of codes are given below.
A: - Grade Levels With Codes for Those Attending School at the Time of Enumeration.

[Questions 18-20 were asked of long form respondents age 5+.]
20. What is the highest grade [the respondent] completed?
Questions from 18-20 refer to only members of a given household aged 5 years and over.

All questions refer to the literacy and educational status of individuals aged 5 years and over at the period of the census.
Question 20:- What is the highest grade [the respondent] completed?
This question will be asked to persons who are reported to be attending school at the time of enumeration and to those who were attending some times in the past. The level of educational attainment or highest grade the person has completed refers to the highest grade level he/she has completed within the most advanced level attended in the educational system either in the new or the former educational system of the country where the education was received. For example, a person who is found to be attending in grade 7 at the time of enumeration is considered to have completed grade 6 in question 20. Therefore, codes 7 and 6 will be assigned to the individual on questions 19 and 20 respectively. However the person may not attend at the time of the census but reported to have taken exam in grade 8 and passed, under this circumstance the person is considered as the one who completed grade 8.

[P12b-P12c were asked of persons have ever attended/attending school now.]
P12b If now, or past in P12a: What is the highest level of schooling (name) attending/attended?
[] 2 Primary
[] 3 Middle/JSS
[] 4 Secondary/SSS
[] 5 Vocational/technical/commercial
[] 6 Post secondary (Agriculture/nursing/teacher training)
[] 7 Tertiary
P12c Highest educational grade: What is the highest grade (name) completed at that level? _ _
P12a School attendance: Has (name) ever attended/attending school now?
This question refers to full time education in an educational institution such as, nursery, kindergarten (pre-school), primary, middle, junior secondary, secondary, vocational, commercial or technical, senior secondary, teacher training college, university or similar type of school where a person spends or has spent at least four (4) hours a day receiving general education in which the emphasis is not on vocational skill or trade training.
This definition excludes night schools, trade schools such as flair catering, motor driving schools, adult literacy school, etc. It also excludes on-the-job training establishments like National Productivity Institute, Auditor-General's Training School, Accountant-General Training School, Labour College, Commercial Bank Training School, etc. It excludes Arabic schools where only reading and writing of the Quoran are taught. This does not mean that schools where Arabic is taught must automatically be excluded because there are recognised schools where Arabic and other subjects are taught.
Three Options: never, now, past are provided for this question and you must write and mark only one of them:
b. Now - Write and mark box 2, if the person is still receiving full-time education at the time of the Census. It includes those who are on vacation at the time of the Census and would be going back to school.
c. Past - Write and mark box 3, if the person received full-time education in the past and is no longer receiving it.
P12b If now or past in 12a: What is the highest level of schooling (name) attending/attended?
This question seeks to elicit information on the highest level of formal schooling attended/attending. Seven levels have been identified. They are (i) Pre-school, (ii) Primary (iii) Middle/JSS (iv) Secondary/SSS (v) Vocational/Technical/Commercial (vi) Post Secondary (Agric/Nursing/Teacher Training) and (vii) Tertiary (e.g. Polytechnic or University). If the person or respondent dropped out of school at a level it means he/she had not completed that level but has attended that level. Note that the interest here is to find the highest level ever attended or attending and not completed, mark the appropriate box applicable to the person.
In some cases you will come across people who through correspondence, distant or adult education have attained some level of schooling. In such cases find the equivalent level of schooling and write and mark the appropriate box.
P12c What is the highest grade (name) completed at that level?
The highest grade completed, is the last full class, form or year completed and not the present/current one being attended. For example if the person is now in primary class five (5), then the highest grade (class) completed will be Primary four (4) since he/she has not yet completed Primary five (5). Similarly, a child who is currently or who dropped out during the second term in JSS 1, will have "0" (Zero) recorded, because no grade has been completed at that level. Record the equivalent grade for persons who have attained some level of schooling through distant, correspondence or adult education. Thus if the grade is unobtainable, the equivalence of the number of years devoted to that particular type of school will provide the required information.
[p. 41]
An example of how to complete P12b and P12c: If a child is currently in the third year of primary school then mark an X for code "2" in P12b and write 2 and mark in the box at P12c.
Full time education: answer for persons 3 years and older
[P12a, P12b and P12c were asked for persons 3 years of age and older.]
P12b. What is the highest level of schooling [the respondent] is attending now/attended in the past?
P12c. Highest educational grade completed for those currently attending school or attended in the past.
This question seeks to elicit information on the highest level of formal school respondent attended or is attending. 12 levels have been identified and they are:
Note that the interest here is to find the highest level of formal school respondent ever attended or attending and not completed. If a respondent dropped out of school at a level it means he/she has attended that level. Also note that first degree includes undergraduates who are still in the universities and polytechnics and those who attended university but dropped out before completing the bachelor degree in addition to those who have completed their bachelor degree.
Similarly, the post graduate category includes those who have completed post graduate diploma, masters' degree and Ph.D. It also includes those who are currently doing a postgraduate course and those who started post graduate course but dropped out before completion.
Enter the code applicable to the person.
You will also come across people who through distant, sandwich course or adult education have attained some level of schooling. In such cases, find the equivalent level of schooling and record the appropriate code in the box provided.
P12c. What is the highest grade [class/form/year] (name) has completed at that level of schooling?
The highest grade completed, is the last full class, form or year completed and not the present/current one being attended. For example if the person is now in primary class five (5), then the highest grade (class) completed will be primary four (4) since he/she has not yet completed primary five (5). Similarly, a child who is currently in JHS 1 or who dropped out during the second term in JHS 1, will have "0" (Zero) recorded, because no grade has been completed at that level. Record the equivalent grade for persons who have attained some level of schooling through distant, correspondence or adult education. If the grade is unobtainable, the equivalence of the number of years devoted to that particular type of school will provide the required information. Below is an example of how to complete P12b and P12c. If a child is currently in the third year of primary school then enter code "03" in P12b. In P12c, write 2 in the appropriate box.

Education
18. Educational level: What was the highest grade and level of education that the person passed?
These questions should be asked exclusively of the persons who have informed that they are seven years old or older.
Question 18: Educational level
In the spaces that correspond to this question, the enumerator should note with clarity, the highest grade or year that the person has completed in formal education. In this question, it is necessary to insist a bit, since generally, the informant tends to say the grade or year that he or she is attending, but what we want to know is the last grade that he or she passed. For this reason, this question should be asked to all persons, whatever the answer was to question 17. For person younger than seven years old, you should mark with an X across the box.
For those who inform not having passed any educational grade, you should write an X on the first line of this question ("no grade"), the same as for those who have passed any grade of preschool, since the question is oriented to the primary, secondary, or university levels.
The enumerator should write the grade or year on the corresponding line, according to the educational level. In this way, a person who has passed through the fifth year of elementary should have noted 5th elementary, the person who has passed 3rd year of pre-vocational should note 3rd Secondary, etc.
Be aware that under the term secondary we include the pre-vocational cycle (or general education) and the vocational cycle (or diversified), taking the first year of this last cycle as the 4th year of secondary, since the cycle of general education is comprised of three years.
If the education that is being studied is divided by semesters, you should note the highest year that the person has completed. For example, if the person passed the 5th semester of Civil Engineering, it would correspond to 2nd year of University.
For the persons who studied abroad, you should note with the best approximation, the grade that corresponds to the Guatemalan educational system, asking additional questions to the interviewee.
For persons who studied in Guatemala before the current educational systems were put into place at the several levels, you should note the highest grade that they passed according to the past systems. In this case, you should ask the enumerated persons additional questions to achieve the most accurate notation possible.
If the person does not remember the last grade passed, but does remember the level (elementary, secondary, or university), note a "d" (initial for unknown) on the respective line. For example, for a person who informs that he or she attended some years of secondary education, but cannot remember the last grade passed, you will write "of secondary". If the person does not remember even the grade nor educational level, in large letters that cover the box, write "unknown."
[p. 45]
Many college students take classes that correspond to different years; you should always write the last year that he or she has completed.
In the case of college students who finished classes but have not taken the exams to receive their college degree, you should note the last grade passed. The same will be applied in the case of professionals who have graduated from the university.
In the case of persons who have studied two fields of secondary or university studies, you should note the highest grade that corresponds to the field with the highest number of years.
As in the case of questions 16 and 17, this question refers exclusively to the formal education that is obtained in public and private institutions, schools, private education at home and college, excluding the long-distance learning and courses that are received in isolated form.
12. Educational level
Write the grade or year according to the type of schooling indicated.
[] 00 None
[] 1 Elementary ____
[] 2 Secondary____
[] 3 Higher____
[] 99 Unknown
Questions 11-14 refer to the literacy and educational level of the enumerated person; either he or she completed the degree or is currently studying. For this reason, only persons aged seven and older are asked these questions.
The purpose of these questions is to find out the educational level of the population with respect to their demographic, economic, and social characteristics.
Question 12: level of education
1. How to ask the question:
[p. 71]
Ask, "What was the last grade or year in primary or secondary school, or higher education, which you successfully completed?"
Note that two pieces of information are required here: a) the highest level of education; and b) the last year successfully completed at that level.
The normal educational system in Guatemala has several levels: a) primary; b) secondary; c) and higher education.
The following definitions will help you categorize the population correctly according to the above.
Primary education: this education is intended to provide the basic elements of instruction (grades 1-6).
Secondary education: the purpose of this level is to provide general, or specialized, or both, types of education. The minimum requirement for students is to be admitted is completion of primary education. This level of education is currently divided into basic and vocational instruction.
Higher education: this is instruction provided in universities and higher-level technical institutions. The minimum requirement for students to be admitted is completion of secondary education.
2. How to record the answer:
The form has various boxes for recording the answer given by the interviewee:
The 00 box, "none," is for the population, which has not completed any schooling.
The spaces appearing after the various levels of instruction, such as "primary 1 _ _," "secondary 2 _ _," and "higher level 3 _ _," are for recording the highest year or grade completed.
Use the 99 box, "unknown," for those persons for whom the informant is unable to provide the information.
[p. 72]
3. Example:
[This box contains question 12 of the section VI, "people in the census household."]
For those 7 years of age and older
[Questions 13 - 15 were asked for persons age 7+ old]
14. Educational level
Question 14: educational level
1. How to formulate the question
What was the last grade or year of study that you completed in either primary [elementary], middle, or superior school?
Two pieces of information are required:
a) The highest level of education; and,
b) The last year completed in that level.
The Republic of Guatemala's regular educational system is made up of the following levels of education:
b) Middle
c) Tertiary
The following definitions will help the enumerator in correctly classifying the population in this characteristic.
Primary education: The educational system providing the first elements of instruction (1st to 6th grades).
Middle education (secondary): A general, specialized, or both, system of education. The minimum prerequisite to enter into secondary education is the completion of elementary education. This level is currently divided into basic and vocational.
[p. 74]
Tertiary education: Education provided by universities and non-university technical schools. The minimum prerequisite to enter tertiary education is the completion of secondary education.
2. How to record the data
If the person has not completed any grade, the number "00. none" is circled.
The spaces that appear before the different levels of education, "1. Primary", "2. Middle," and "3. tertiary", are provided so that the last grade or year completed can be recorded.
Finally, number "99. unknown" is provided in case the informant cannot supply the information about the person in question.
3. Example:
[These instructions refer to a graphic of question 14 of the census form]
14. Educational level
14. Level of education
Before continuing with this question, familiarize yourself with the following definitions:
[A graphic of box 14, "Level of education," is reproduced on the left-hand side of the page.]
Ask, "What was the last grade you passed in pre-primary, primary, or secondary school, or an institute of higher education.
If the person has not passed any grade, mark an X in the circle corresponding to the 00 option. If the person passed pre-primary, mark an X in the circle corresponding to the 10 option.
For primary school, secondary school, and higher education, write the last grade passed in the appropriate grid space. Write the information in digits using number from 1 to 7 (7 being the maximum).
Classes taught at a university but of limited length (6 months, etc.) are not considered higher education.
For persons of age 7 years and older
[Questions 12 to 20 are for persons of age 7 years and older]
13. What was the last grade or year of studies completed?
Section 7: Individual characteristics
This section records individual information for a maximum of ten people - those listed in section 6, "total number of persons in the household." If there are more than ten people in the census household use as many additional forms as necessary.
[A graphic of the "individual characteristics", located at the top of section 7 of the census form, is included here.]
Person number: In the grid spaces on the upper left side of the form, write the number that corresponds to the person according to the order from the list of persons in section VI. The head of household is number 1.
Name: In the appropriate space, write the name of each of the persons who make up the household according to the order in which they appear on the list in question 3 of section VI. Begin with the head of household and continue writing according to the order established.
Information supplied by respondent: This is when the person interviewed gives information about his/her own self. Fill in the appropriate oval according to the information you receive.
Questions 1-11 should be asked for all permanent residents of the household in the dwelling.
Questions 12-20 are for persons aged seven or older.

[Write the] Year in numbers followed by "P" for primary, "S" for secondary, or "U" for university. Example: 3 P, 2 S, 5 U
Column number 10: Last year completed
With this information, it is desired to know the educational level of the population and it is necessary that the enumerator pay special attention [to the occupant].
For the persons who have never attended school and for those who attended but did have not complete even their first year of study, a dash (-) is written down.
For the rest of the population, the number of the last year completed is written down, followed by a letter "P" for primary, "S" for secondary, or "U" for university.
[p. 21]
Some faculties in our [Honduran] University have a preparatory course. For those university students who have passed preparatory but who have not entered the first year of university studies, the annotation is "PU", which means University Preparatory.
The annotation will be as follows: 3P, 2S, 1PU, and 4U; meaning third year in primary, second year in secondary, first year in university preparatory, and fourth year in university.
Studies in the Vocational Technical Institute, School of Arts and Trades, Industrial Arts School, School of Fine Arts, and similar are considered to be secondary education.
Be careful when interviewing current students. The question refers to the last year completed and not to the current year of study. E.g. for a child attending the third year of primary, "2P" is written down since the last year completed is second.
For the child attending the first year of primary, a dash (-) is recorded since no studies have been completed.
For the person attending the first year of secondary, "6P" is recorded since the last year completed is the sixth grade in primary.
For those in their first year at the university, ask if they attended the preparatory course, if this is the case, 1PU is recorded. Otherwise, write 5S since the last year completed is the fifth grade in secondary.
(For all individuals 6 years of age and older)
11. What is the last grade or year completed in primary, secondary or post-secondary school?
Questions 10-13 refer to the level of literacy and years of study the enumerated person has completed or is completing. For this reason, only ask person aged six and older these questions.

The normal educational system in Guatemala has several levels: a) Primary; b) Secondary; c) Higher education
The following definitions will help you categorize the population correctly according to the above.
The form provides several boxes for recording the respondent's answer.
The "None" box, 00, is for those who have not passed any grade or are illiterate.
The spaces after the various levels of instruction, "Primary 1___," Secondary 2___," and Higher Education 3___" are for recording the highest grade or year passed.
Box 99, "Unknown," is provided for cases where the respondent is unable to provide information about a family member. For example:

[] 7 Post-secondary university
12. What is the highest grade you completed?
13. Did you complete this level?
[] 2 No
14. To what educational level did the last year completed belong?
____ _ _ _
11. What is the highest level of study that you have studied or completed?
If the answer corresponds to one of the first three levels (none, literacy center, or pre-primary), the enumerator will skip to question 15.
If the answer is among the alternatives 4, 5, 6, or 7, the corresponding mark is made and the enumerator will proceed to the following question.
Reminder: Post-secondary non-tertiary education takes place after secondary (middle education) but is not at the tertiary level. E.g.: studies in the Teaching School, Pan American Agricultural School of Zamoran, National Agricultural School of Olancho.
12. What is the highest grade you completed?
This refers to the last year completed in the level of studies corresponding to the previous question and not the current year or semester of studies.
[These instructions refer to an illustration of the concept "last year completed"]
For persons 5 years old or more
[Questions 6-11 were asked of persons aged 5 years or older.]
9. What is the last grade, course, or year that [the person] passed?
Question 9: What is the last grade, course, or year that you passed?
Enclose in a circle the number of the highest level of study that he or she studied, then in the numbers located to the right of this level, enclose in a circle the number that corresponds to the last grade, course or year that he or she passed.
For persons who are in first grade of elementary school, the answer that should be noted after asking if he or she complete the level of pre-school, is like this: circle the 3 of pre-school and the respective year; if the answer is 'no', circle the 1 of 'none'.
For the persons who are initiating the level of literacy training or pre-school, then you would register the level 1 'none'.
To register the answer you should consider that:
a. When did you obtain your qualification?
b. How long did it take to obtain your qualification?
The questions related to the education should be filled in only in case the enumerated person was born in 1963 or earlier. That is in case of the children born between 1964 -1969 this part as well as part III of the questionnaire will be empty.
First question of part II collects information on the regular school attendance of the enumerated person. A regular school i.e. educational institution is
In the secondary level: the grammar school,
The specialized secondary school;
The technical school of a higher level,
The teachers training college
Training college for kindergarten teachers.
Questions 12-14 refer to the training completed in regular educational institutions. A supplementary instruction is issued to define the education obtained regarding the persons having completed studies in educational institutions already not existing.
12. Not studied in a school
The number of the completed grade in each of the types of schools listed in sub-question 11/a will be entered into the quads in sub-question 11/b and the qualification obtained will be underlined at sub-question 11/c. The educational attainment should be enumerated according to the prevailing educational system.
Qualifications obtained at specialized courses must not be entered. The former statement does not valid in cases of specialized courses if the respective legislation is specifying that by taking some state exams the given qualification will be equivalent with a completed secondary or higher education. To accept i.e. to enter the answer to questions 11 and 12 is possible only if all the required exams had been taken by the respondent.
11/b Class (grade) completed
The completed grade is the one which might be confirmed by a certificate. In case the respondent had visited several schools of the same type the classes completed must not be summarized but the highest grade completed should be marked. In case a person born before 1973 did not attend school or at the reference date of the census is at the first grade of the primary school "0" will be entered into the quad at inscription "general, primary" and the other quads remain empty. In each of the cases after the last completed year "0" is entered and the following quads remain blank.
Schools for mentally defective persons are treated as general (primary) schools.
Question 13.
The aim of the interrogation is to acquire information on the level of schooling of the population. Therefore the types of schools and the classes, grades completed and the qualifications obtained in other types of schools not listed in the questionnaire must not be recorded. The answer "without completed school (00)" is marked for persons who did not even complete the general (primary) school, irrespective of their illiteracy.
The highest education i.e. the highest grade completed (also in case of the students) in the general (primary) school must be registered in the respective boxes, while the other institutions of the official school system the marking is necessary if the person has completed studies.
The completed studies abroad should be classified according to the Hungarian system, qualifications obtainable.
The different types of schools are the following
[Comment of the translator: quite many of the school types refer to educational systems that no longer apply. The names of the institutions might seem not familiar for the experts in the (traditional) classification of the educational institutions]:
The general (primary) school includes -- with the exemption of schools for extensive training -- each educational institution of elementary training, popular school, schools for back warded pupils and the so called "civilian school", as well as the first four years of the grammar school of 8 grades.
[p. 11]
The boxes at the "civilian school" can be used only if persons born before 1935.
The educational attainment, i.e. the grades completed must not be converted into the present educational system, e.g. in case a persons completed the 4th class of the "civilian school" "4" should be marked in the respective box.
While answering the further questions only the completed studies will be marked. The following items are regarded as completed studies:
The manual further gives a detailed list on the educational institutions of secondary and high level education, the translation of the individual items seems not necessary.
The following qualifications must not taken into account even in case those have been obtained in an educational institution of the regular school system: certificates obtained in course raining, certificate of profession obtained within the adult training, certificate on completing the grades of higher educational institutions, special exams passed in postgraduate training (e.g. specialized physician, specialized engineer, judge, etc.).
12.1--12.6. All educational qualifications have to be taken into account. It is not enough if you give the highest level one only. You must not write in courses. You must not make difference between qualifications obtained via regular or non-regular form of education (evening or mail course, distance teaching, private).
12.1 The number of classes (years) must not be converted into the current education system. Currently someone goes to school if he/she is enrolled for the 2000/2001 school year in one of the listed types of school.
II. Education attainment
Take into account studies and qualifications only in formal education.
[Question were of all persons]
19. What is your highest completed level of education?
Studies and qualifications obtained in formal education have to be taken into account in questions 17.1.--20
Persons in formal education are in legal status with the school as pupils or students. Questions regarding school attendance must be answered only in case the respondent is in legal status with the school as pupil or student (question 17.1 must be answered also in case of attending infant nursery or kindergarten), completed educational attainment must be taken into account only if it had been obtained in formal education. Persons attending schools outside formal education (e.g. trainings) are not in legal status with the school, so these studies and certificates must not be counted.
19. What is your highest completed level of education?
The order of the pre-printed answers defines the possible educational levels: the first is the lowest and the last is the highest educational level. The only one answer has to be marked which relates to the person.
The highest educational attainment relates to the schools completed only in the educational system.
Qualifications obtained in courses and vocational training or apprentice school certificates obtained during part-time education must not be taken into account. These qualifications are not part of the educational system.
If the person got a university or colleague degree but did not get final exam, it is not meant to be education completed, so this should not be taken into account when defining the highest educational level.
Qualifications attained abroad have to be classified according to the Hungarian school system levels.
Not even the first grade of general (primary) school completed is the education of those having completed 1--7th years of general (primary) school, 1--3rd years in civil school, 1st year in 6 grades secondary school and 1-3rd years in 8 grades secondary school. Moreover include those who not even attend one grade of any school.
General (primary) school is the education of those having completed the 8th grade of general (primary) school, 4-6th years of the civil school and do not have higher education or attended some years in secondary level of education but did not get either vocational exam or final examination.
Secondary level without final examination, with final vocational exam is the education of those having attained certificate of profession in vocational training school or certificate of profession in apprentice school. Defining the highest educational attainment from the earlier vocational training schools only those are included in this category which had been completed in 1961 or later, and from the sanitary apprentice schools or typing schools only those which had been completed in 1976 or later all attended in full-time.
Secondary level with final examination is the education of those having secondary level with final examinations either general or with vocational and of those who completed some grades in university or college etc. but did not get any diploma, certification. Secondary level with final examination educational attainment comprises of the following groups:
General certificate of education is the highest educational attainment of those who got general certificate of education in secondary general school or secondary vocational school and do not have a vocational exam based on the general certification or higher education. This group includes also those persons who got final secondary examination between 1974 and 1986.
General certificate of education with qualifications is the highest educational attainment of those who got their general certificate with qualifications in secondary vocational school, technical school, upper-commercial school, secondary level teacher and kindergarten teacher institution and do not have higher education completed. This group includes also those persons who completed a vocational final exam between 1949 and 1955.
Certificate of vocational programs is the highest educational attainment of those who got general certificate in secondary vocational school between 1985 and 2002 and after the general certificate they got technical certificate in 1-3 grades and those who got secondary or higher level vocational certification listed in the National Vocational Register (OKJ) in secondary vocational school after doing general certificate and do not have higher education completed. This group includes also those persons who got general certificate of education in secondary vocational school for apprentice school for skilled workman.
Certificate of higher vocational programs is the highest educational attainment of those who got higher vocational certification in secondary vocational school or tertiary educational institution after 1998 and do not have college or university diploma.
University, college, etc. with degree is the education of those having a college (or equivalent, e.g. BA/BSc) degree or a university (or equivalent, e.g. MA/Msc) degree, or completed supplementary university courses (PhD or DLA).
College diploma (or equivalent, e.g. BA/BSc) is the highest educational attainment of those who got diploma in college, tertiary level technical school, tertiary level vocational school, tertiary level kindergarten teacher or teacher institution etc. This group includes also those persons who got BA, BSc degree in tertiary educational system in basic training.
University diploma (or equivalent, e.g. MA, MSc) is the highest educational attainment of those who got certificate or diploma in university, equivalent level tertiary level institution in basic or supplementary training and in professional further training. This group includes also those persons who got master degree (MA MSc) in the current tertiary educational system in master training or unified training.
PhD or DLA degree is the highest educational attainment of those who got doctoral scientific degree achieved in doctoral regulations. Defining the highest educational attainment only those scientific doctoral degrees are included in this category which had been attained in 1991 or after. Those who got doctoral name together with the university diploma (lawyer, doctor, dentist, chemist, or veterinarian) do not belong to this group.
5.4.1.8 Column (8) and ( 9): educational standard:
Information regarding the general and technical education attained by the normal members of the household listed in col. (1) will be recorded in columns (8) and (9) respectively in terms of the specified code numbers. For the purpose of making entries in these columns only the course successfully completed will be considered. For instances, for a person who has studied up to say, first year B.A., his educational attainment will be considered only secondary (code number 5). Also, for a person who has studied up to 12th standard but has not sat for the final examination or has failed or ever passed in the examination, his educational attainment will be considered 'secondary' only. The relevant codes to be used for recording entries in these two columns are:
general education[column(8)]

A person who can both read and write a simple message in at least one language is to be considered literate. Those who are not able to do so are to be considered not literate and will be assigned code 00. Those who are literate but never attended any school, will be assigned code 01. Those who are by definition literate but are yet to pass primary standard examination will get code 02. Similarly codes 03, 04, and 05 will indicate the successive higher standard of examinations passed. Matriculation, School Final, Pre-University, Higher Secondary and Intermediate examination will come under Secondary (code 05). A degree holder will get one of the codes 06 to 09 depending on the subject studied. For code 08, medical graduates belonging to Schools of medicine other than allopathic, e.g., homeopathic, ayurvedic, etc. are also to be taken into consideration. Code 06 will also include graduates in 'forestry', 'fishery science' etc. If more than one of the codes 06 to 09 are relevant for a person the following procedure will be adopted.
ii) When more than one of the codes 06 to 08 are relevant, the code indicating the degree last obtained will be considered.
Persons who have attained proficiency in oriental languages (e.g. Sanskrit, Persian etc.) through formal but not the general type of education will be classified appropriately at the equivalent level of general education standard.

Note:
1. For those who have/are attending a university that uses the Credit Point System, information on the level/class that is currently attended can be obtained by asking extra questions as follows: "How many Credit Points have you achieved?" As guidance, a year is valued as 30 credits, so in order to determine how many levels/class that have been achieved, please use the following conversion guide:
Total credit points achieved -- attending level/class
31-60 credits -- 2
[p.51]
91-120 credits -- 4
