Section 5 - Education
5.52 General
The aim of the section is to obtain information on the highest level of educational attainment among the entire population. Questions relate not just to current attendance but also to past attendance. As such, this section is relevant not only to school children but also to adults who may be furthering their education full-time or part-time.
You must pay close attention to the instruction on the questionnaire which precede the questions in this section.
5.53 For babies and young children not of school age, the question will obviously not be applicable. You should also be careful in the case of older persons who are not likely to be currently attending an educational institution, but for whom the questions on past attendance are applicable. It is recognized however, that adults do continue their education and the questions are therefore relevant.
5.54 The instructions on the questionnaire are as follows:
(i) For persons under 4 years old Score "No" at Q5.1 and go to Q8.1.
(ii) For persons over 50 years old Score "No" at Q5.1 and proceed to Q5.2, asking the question
in relation to the last institution attended, i.e. "what type of educational institution did you last attend?"
(iii) For persons 30-50 years old you must introduce the questions by explaining that it is known that some people try to further their education as they get older before asking Q5.1.
(iv) For all other persons, that is, those between age 4 and 29 years, proceed directly to Q5.1.
