Educational characteristics
This section comprises questions 8, 9, and 10, and those questions should be asked to persons aged 5 years or older.

Column number 9: Did you attend school during the current month of April?
School attendance is not limited to primary [elementary] school only. It is desired to find out if, during the reference month, the person attended any educational center, this can be an elementary school, secondary school, or other educational establishment.

Since the University is not in session during the month of April, all university students will be marked down as not attending, which is untrue. To avoid this anomaly, the enumerator should ask if the person is attending the university; if this is the case, "yes" should be written down in column 9.

If the person had attended, as a student, any educational center at least once during the month of April, the answer is "yes".

Children 5 years of age who attend a kindergarten or day care are not considered to be attending school.
