Questions 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 and 3.10 are asked to people who are 5 years old or older. For this, check the answer that you wrote down in question 3.3 Age.

If a person who you are interviewing is less than 5 years old, go to the next person in the list.


3.7 Illiteracy

With this question, people who know how to read and write a message are distinguished from those who do not know how to do it.

Take into account that following indications:

- A person does not read or write when he or she can only write their name, some words or numbers.

- If an informant responds, "a little, not much, more or less," it is necessary that you ask them if they can write about something that has happened to him or her. If it is indicated affirmatively, mark Yes, in the contrary case, register No.


[To the right of the text is a form for 3.7 Illiteracy.]

Although an informant does not know how to read or write, always ask questions 3.8 Attendance and 3.9 Level of instruction.
