Title 10: Level of education
208. Write down as a number, on the dotted line, the last year of study passed by a person, corresponding to the class of instruction received in establishments of regular education.

209. Regular education is understood to be taught in establishments of public or private teaching, within the plans or programs of education officially passed in the country.

210. In the census document, eight principal classes of instruction have specifically been considered, plus an additional class [listed] under the general headline "Other", whose diverse particular cases will be correctly located in the process of revision of information after the enumeration. Immediately after the specific name of each class of instruction, a number between "0" (zero) and "8" is printed, which correspond to the code with which each case is differentiated. It is immediately after this code, on the dotted line, that the number corresponding to the year of studies passed is to be written down, within each class of instruction. So, for example, for a person who has passed the 4th year of primary school, once the notation has been made, it would read in the census document: "Primary 1 4"; if the 2nd year of secondary, it would read: "Secondary 2 2"; if the 3rd year of military, it would read: "Military 8 3", and so on according to the case.

[p. 34]

211. For a person who never has attended a center of education or has never passed a year of studies, write down a 0 (zero) for the following code corresponding to the headline "Without instruction" "0 0".

212. If a person does not remember the year nor the class of instruction received, write down the double symbol "XX", in the dotted line corresponding to the headline: "Other".

213. With reference to studies for determined professions, like law, medicine, economics, etc., some students are not able to be sure about what their last year of studies are that they have passed, because of computing the advancement of studies based on the number of classes passed. In this case, it will be sufficient to write down an "X" in the dotted line corresponding to the headline: "Faculty".

214. The class of education "Agrarian" will be understood to be the courses at the University of Work, in:

a) "General agrarian schools"; and

b) "Specialized agrarian schools" (school of dairy, winemaking, forestry, agriculture and livestock, farming mechanics, horticulture and fruits, poultry farming).

Also this includes education imparted by the non-official "agrarian schools" at the level of education similar to those that have just been mentioned, for example: "Jackson agrarian school" in Manga (department of Montevideo).

215. The agrarian education, imparted in the above centers of education, should not be confused with that given in the primary level of "farm schools" -- this depends on the national committee of primary and normal education. Those educated in these centers should be written down as class of instruction: primary.

216. "Industrial" education is understood to be courses at the University of Work in:

a) "Mono technical industrial schools" (mechanical and electrical schools, construction, commerce, applied arts industries, naval industries, feminine industries, graphic arts); and

b) Polytechnic industry schools and education imparted in private schools, but at a level of education similar to those above, for example: the "Don Bosco workshop school", the "Ort technical school".

217. Finally, under the headline "Other", all those cases of graduates, students of universities or conservatories, or of other institutions that do not require studies at the level of "Faculty" should be recorded, even if the classes are given in university classrooms or rooms. Among these cases are:

a) Education by university schools like: medical assistants (dieticians, physical therapists, radiologists, infant psychologists, laboratory clinic assistants, transfusion assistants, ophthalmologists, phono-audiologists, medical archive assistants).

b) Schools of fine arts: painters.

c) School of library science: librarians.

d) National conservatory of music: music professors.

e) University nursing school: university nurses.

[p. 35]

f) School of social service: social assistants.

g) Midwives.

h) Instituto de Profesores Artigas [secondary school teacher training institution].

i) Schools or institutes of commerce.

j) Other schools:

"Dr. Carlos Nery" school of nursing (Ministry of public health)
School of social service (Ministry of public instruction)
School of social service (Catholic)

218. For the appropriate treatment of cases that have just been specified, write down on the dotted line, in the most comprehensible form but at the same time as abbreviated as possible, the class of education received following the number that indicates the last year of studies passed. For example: "Dietician 1"; "Medical archive assistant 1" that can be abbreviated as "Ax. arch. med. 1"; "Social assistant 3"; "Commerce 1".

G. Information of the people
169. Once the Section "F. Information of the home" is finished, you should ask the population questions to each one of the people who you are to enumerate.

When possible, you should try to make each person provide you with their own information. Only in the case of a person who is absent at the time of your visit, or if it concerns children, will you receive their information from a third party.

In each home, you will enumerate all people who slept in it the night before the "Day of the Census" or who, being absent this night for reasons of work, return to the home during the day. In such form, a doctor who did not sleep in his/her house because of being on guard in a hospital will be enumerated in their home. On the contrary, a traveler who spent many days away from their home will be enumerated in the place slept in during the night before the "Day of the Census."

II. Educational characteristics
[Persons age 6 or older]

The questions of this chapter are for the purpose of knowing the educational level of the population and its specialization in different disciplines, acquired from regular courses.

237. Question no. 10, "What is the highest level that you attend or attended in establishments of regular education?", should be asked to all people who attend or attended educational establishments a one time.

Educational level will be understood to mean each one of the categories included in the Census document. This classification is divided into two parts, A and B.

Look at the Census document. If a person you are enumerating answers part A, do not ask question No. 13. Cross it out with a diagonal line and go to question No. 14. If on the contrary, a person answers part B you should ask question 13 and clearly specify what course [he/she] attends or attended.

238. When a person declares more than one level to you, you should find out which of them is a continuation of the other that would be considered superior. For example, one cannot write "Dentist courses" without having finished high school: nevertheless, it will be "Dentist courses". Remember that in this case you should write down only the highest level finished.

239. If a person attended two equal courses, mark the one considered more important and register the other in the space meant for "Observations".

Persons age 3 or older
The questions of this part have the purpose of knowing the educational level of the population, both on the plane of regular education, as well as training courses or non-regular education, offered by public and private organizations, in this country or abroad.

Question 14. How many years did you pass in this level?

You should fill in the box corresponding to the number of years passed -- in the highest level reached indicated in Question 12. For example, if a person is currently in the third year of high school, that box that shows two years passed will be marked.

If a person attends first year in a determined educational level, the quantity of years passed in this level will be zero ("0"). For example: first of primary, first of basic cycle, first of secondary (second cycle), first of University, etc.

52. What is the highest level and year attained? Level completed?

This corresponds with noting the last year reached in this highest level. If the person declares more than one level (for example masters and university) he will be asked to opt for one of the levels, for example what results of most use for his insertion into the work force.

You must remember that today in the country there exist courses given by private institutes that are recognized as equivalent to those dictated by the U.T.U. or the University of the Republic. These must be assimilated to those who correspond.

Only in the case in which the interviewee indicates in this question that he attended Technical school (UTU or similar), this question has been complemented with a requirement that permits one to access this category, with the objective of being able to adequately classify the type of technical education of the person.

Important clarifications

It is indispensable to correctly follow the sequence that is marked in the questionnaire.

All the people who currently attend an educational center ("Yes" in question 48) cannot have finished the highest level. There can be exceptions to this rule like in the case of the people who having completed a university degree are resolved to reincorporate themselves in studies and complete a baking class in the UTU that according to its requirements is in the secondary level. In these cases, clarify it in the margin of the questionnaire or indicate the specialty of both courses and degrees.

For all those who indicate some course of technical learning the requirements for admission are also solicited (for example: only elementary school completed, middle school completed (the six years, etc.), with permits adequately codifying the indicated course.

The access to many job positions demands as a necessary condition a determined level of completed instruction. Additionally because of this it's necessary to reveal if the interviewee completed or not the level of instruction declared (ex: different durations of university degrees). According to the interviewee's response you will circle the corresponding code. You must keep present that a person who currently attends cannot have had completed that level.

It's important that you control the coherency of all the questions that this topic involves, but never marking a response by supposing a situation.

50. In what level and year are you currently enrolled?

The level and year that the respondent is currently attending will be indicated. In the case that vacations are in session, you must record the grade he will enter when classes resume.

In the case that the person declares attending different levels (for example teacher training and university) he will be asked to opt for one of them, following the criteria of the level to which he dedicates the majority of time (including hours of study).

How to proceed in the case that the interview is being carried out during vacations? In these cases you must investigate the enrollment of the student. Anyone who, even while temporarily not attending, is enrolled is considered as attending an establishment of learning.

An example that can present doubt is the following: a person who is interviewed in the months of the summer finished one level (ex: elementary school) and is enrolled in the next level, you must mark the next level and note "1" in the year that he is attending.

Some clarifications with respect to the options:

Pre-school: Daycare, nursery school, etc. are included. The level that he is taking will be indicated.

Special elementary school: This level will be signaled in the case of the people who attend special schools for the disabled/handicapped. In this case the level that he is taking should be indicated.

Middle school: If the person is taking the first, second, or third year in a middle school

[p. 43]

University of Work (UTU): If the person is taking first, second, or third year in a technical school. You must be careful not to confuse the UTU with basic professional formation. The basic cycle of the UTU is equivalent to the middle school, that's to say that it has the same curriculum content as the formation in the first cycle of the middle school (except for small differences).

High school: If the person is taking fourth, fifth, or sixth grade in a high school

Basic professional formation: corresponds to the courses of the UTU that only require elementary schooling. It is different from the basic cycle in the UTU because it deals with a formation orientated specifically to some trade and is not equivalent to the basic cycle in the middle school. In addition, the courses are of shorter duration than the basic cycle of the UTU. It is required that the people are age 15 or older to participate in these courses.

Technical high school: If the person is taking fourth, fifth, or sixth grade in a technical school.

Non-university higher education: This includes for example the National School of Police (officials), the technicians of administration (the private universities as well we the University of the Republic), the physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, students of hotel management, etc.

Graduate school (masters or Ph.D.): If the person is attending a postgraduate course, always when it deals with a masters of at least a year of duration (don't record postgraduate studies shorter than one year) or a doctorate, in both cases they must require a finalized university degree in order for admission.

Middle school: If the person is taking the first, second, or third year in a middle school

[p. 43]

University of Work (UTU): If the person is taking first, second, or third year in a technical school. You must be careful not to confuse the UTU with basic professional formation. The basic cycle of the UTU is equivalent to the middle school, that's to say that it has the same curriculum content as the formation in the first cycle of the middle school (except for small differences).

High school: If the person is taking fourth, fifth, or sixth grade in a high school

Basic professional formation: corresponds to the courses of the UTU that only require elementary schooling. It is different from the basic cycle in the UTU because it deals with a formation orientated specifically to some trade and is not equivalent to the basic cycle in the middle school. In addition, the courses are of shorter duration than the basic cycle of the UTU. It is required that the people are age 15 or older to participate in these courses.

Technical high school: If the person is taking fourth, fifth, or sixth grade in a technical school.

Non-university higher education: This includes for example the National School of Police (officials), the technicians of administration (the private universities as well we the University of the Republic), the physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, students of hotel management, etc.

Graduate school (masters or Ph.D.): If the person is attending a postgraduate course, always when it deals with a masters of at least a year of duration (don't record postgraduate studies shorter than one year) or a doctorate, in both cases they must require a finalized university degree in order for admission.

50. In what level and year are you currently enrolled?

The level and year that the respondent is currently attending will be indicated. In the case that vacations are in session, you must record the grade he will enter when classes resume.

In the case that the person declares attending different levels (for example teacher training and university) he will be asked to opt for one of them, following the criteria of the level to which he dedicates the majority of time (including hours of study).

How to proceed in the case that the interview is being carried out during vacations? In these cases you must investigate the enrollment of the student. Anyone who, even while temporarily not attending, is enrolled is considered as attending an establishment of learning.

An example that can present doubt is the following: a person who is interviewed in the months of the summer finished one level (ex: elementary school) and is enrolled in the next level, you must mark the next level and note "1" in the year that he is attending.

This corresponds with noting the last year reached in this highest level. If the person declares more than one level (for example masters and university) he will be asked to opt for one of the levels, for example what results of most use for his insertion into the work force.

You must remember that today in the country there exist courses given by private institutes that are recognized as equivalent to those dictated by the U.T.U. or the University of the Republic. These must be assimilated to those who correspond.

Only in the case in which the interviewee indicates in this question that he attended Technical school (UTU or similar), this question has been complemented with a requirement that permits one to access this category, with the objective of being able to adequately classify the type of technical education of the person.

Important clarifications

It is indispensable to correctly follow the sequence that is marked in the questionnaire.

All the people who currently attend an educational center ("Yes" in question 48) cannot have finished the highest level. There can be exceptions to this rule like in the case of the people who having completed a university degree are resolved to reincorporate themselves in studies and complete a baking class in the UTU that according to its requirements is in the secondary level. In these cases, clarify it in the margin of the questionnaire or indicate the specialty of both courses and degrees.

For all those who indicate some course of technical learning the requirements for admission are also solicited (for example: only elementary school completed, middle school completed (the six years, etc.), with permits adequately codifying the indicated course.

The access to many job positions demands as a necessary condition a determined level of completed instruction. Additionally because of this it's necessary to reveal if the interviewee completed or not the level of instruction declared (ex: different durations of university degrees). According to the interviewee's response you will circle the corresponding code. You must keep present that a person who currently attends cannot have had completed that level.

It's important that you control the coherency of all the questions that this topic involves, but never marking a response by supposing a situation.

52. What is the highest level and year attained? Level completed?

This corresponds with noting the last year reached in this highest level. If the person declares more than one level (for example masters and university) he will be asked to opt for one of the levels, for example what results of most use for his insertion into the work force.

You must remember that today in the country there exist courses given by private institutes that are recognized as equivalent to those dictated by the U.T.U. or the University of the Republic. These must be assimilated to those who correspond.

Only in the case in which the interviewee indicates in this question that he attended Technical school (UTU or similar), this question has been complemented with a requirement that permits one to access this category, with the objective of being able to adequately classify the type of technical education of the person.

Important clarifications

It is indispensable to correctly follow the sequence that is marked in the questionnaire.

All the people who currently attend an educational center ("Yes" in question 48) cannot have finished the highest level. There can be exceptions to this rule like in the case of the people who having completed a university degree are resolved to reincorporate themselves in studies and complete a baking class in the UTU that according to its requirements is in the secondary level. In these cases, clarify it in the margin of the questionnaire or indicate the specialty of both courses and degrees.

For all those who indicate some course of technical learning the requirements for admission are also solicited (for example: only elementary school completed, middle school completed (the six years, etc.), with permits adequately codifying the indicated course.

The access to many job positions demands as a necessary condition a determined level of completed instruction. Additionally because of this it's necessary to reveal if the interviewee completed or not the level of instruction declared (ex: different durations of university degrees). According to the interviewee's response you will circle the corresponding code. You must keep present that a person who currently attends cannot have had completed that level.

It's important that you control the coherency of all the questions that this topic involves, but never marking a response by supposing a situation.
