16. Schooling
Record the last year or grade that the person passed in school and circle the code of the corresponding level; keep in mind the following in answering the question:
If the person is attending a grade in school, write down the previous year or grade that they passed.
If the person finished studying in fewer years, register the grades or years passed, as if they had attended the regular or a different schooling system of education. For example, when they have finished secondary school in the National Institute for the Education of Adults (INEA) in one year, record three years in option 3.Secondary.
[Depiction of this completed question on the enumeration form, and a related drawing]
When they declare semesters, trimesters, etc. write the equivalent in years attained; for this, take into account the following equivalencies: 2 semesters, 3 four-month periods, 4 trimesters, and 6 two-month periods each equal 1 year.
For example, if a person is attending the fourth semester of high school this means that they have not yet finished the second year, thus, write one year for this level.
If they mention that the person studies or studied high school and, as part of this study, a technical major, write the number of years passed under option 4.Preparatory or high school.
If they give you the name of a school ("Unitec", "Conalep", technological or other) or that of a degree (accountant, architecture, social work, nursing, etc.), ask if their studies are at a technical or professional level and record the number of years passed in the corresponding option.
Don't count trained hairdressers, special training and specialty courses. Only for medical specialties (pediatrics, cardiology, among others) should the number of years passed be recorded under the option Masters or doctorate.
[P. 74]
-If the person has done some number of years of a doctorate, add these to the number of years that the masters lasted and write the total number of years under this level.
-If the person studied in another country, ask them to tell you what educational level they studied in, as well as the number of years, and record this in the corresponding level.
