52. Instructions for filling-in column 1 to 25 of Form B: part 2

You have to collect information in part 2 for all persons mentioned in statement 1.1 and statement 1.2 of part 1. Some of the following questions have been answered in part 1. Therefore there will be no need to ask these questions again. In such cases all you have to do is to copy the information in the appropriate column.

70. Column 17: full time education

[p. 27]

Full-time education refers to education in an educational institution like Primary school, Secondary school, College, Training center, etc. This question should be filled-in for all persons.

70.2 Column 17 (b): currently attending grade (for code 2 of column 17(a))

Enter dash (-) in the two sub-columns in the case of a person who has never attended school/education institution (Code 1 in column 17(a)) and in the case of a person who attended school/educational institution in the past (Code 3 in column 17(a)). Enter the suitable code in column 17(b) from the code list given below the question for a person currently attending school or educational institution (Code 2 in column17(a). Code 00 should be given to a child currently attending pre-school/Kindergarten class.

70.3 Column 17 (c): what is the highest grade completed?

If you have given code 1 in column 17(a), enter dash (-) in the two sub-columns of column 17(c). For Codes 2 and 3 in column 17 (a) give suitable code from the code list given below the question, based on the answer given by the respondent.. A last category "other (specify)" (Code 20) has been included to cater for other educational categories not mentioned. In general, you may check whether the educational level of a person is consistent with his/her age. For example, a boy or girl of age 8 could not have completed class 11. If any such inconsistency is noted, please make probing questions and ascertain the correct answer. Code 88 should be given for a person who has not completed any grade. Examples of this are: kids in the preschool/ kindergarten, drop outs from school who have not completed any grade.

70.4 Note on the code Lists for Currently attending grades and completed Grades Given Under Column 17

For both the columns 17(b) and 17 (c), code list is the same for Pre-school to Grade 12. This is explained below: suppose a person is currently attending grade 9 give code 09 in column 17(b). If another person has completed Grade 9 give code 09 in

[p. 28]

Column 17 (c) and so on.

Beyond Grade 12 currently attending grades can be coded in column 17 (b) from the list Called "Separate codes for Col.17 (b)" which contains Codes 15 to 20 for higher courses. Two Codes 13 and 14 will not apply to Column 17(b).

In the case of column 17(c) completed grades beyond Grade 12 should be coded using the list of codes called "Separate codes for Column 17(c)" which contains Codes 13 to 20 and code 88 for no grade completed. Examples: if code 15 is entered in column 17(b) it means the person is studying in the presecondary diploma course. If code 15 is entered in column 17(c) it means that the person concerned has completed pre-secondary diploma course and so on. If code 18 is given in column 17(b) it means the person is studying in the post-graduate class. If code 18 is given in column 17(c) it means the person has completed his Master's degree.

Important: in the case of a person who has successfully completed a diploma, certificate or degree course it is not necessary that she/he should have the completed certificate with her/him at the time of the survey. She/he should be treated as having completed the course.

70.5 Column 17 (d): main subjects of study for codes 15 to 20 in col. 17(b) or 17(c).

For a respondent who had given the highest grade completed in school, college or any other educational institution and for whom one of the codes 15 to 20 has been entered in column 17(b) and 17(c), or only in 17(c) the main subject of study should be ascertained and recorded in this column (Example: statistics, Economics, Business Management, Mechanical Engineering etc.). The choice of the main subject should be left to the respondent.
