18. Education
Record the last year or grade that the person passed in school and circle the level code that corresponds.

Keep in mind the following considerations:

• If the person at the moment of the interview is enrolled in some grade or school year, note the previous year or grade that he/she passed.
• If he/she finished studying in less years in the System of Open Education, record the years passed as if he/she had passed in the regular education system.

• If he/she finished the elementary school in the National Institute for Adult Education (INEA) in a year and a half, record six years and circle level 2 code.
• If he/she finished middle school in the INEA in a year, record 3 years and circle the level 3 code.
• When the response is a bimestre, trimester, quarter, semester, circle the number equivalent to the years passed as follows:
• 2 semesters, 3 trimesters, 4 quarters, 6 bimestres -- is equal to one year. But if the year has not concluded, record the last grade finished.
• Record the last grade passed and circle the level 4 code if he/she studied in high school and technical school and the same time.

• If he/she studied in the teacher training college, ask if it was a basic teacher training college -- if so, ask the grades or years passed and circle the level 5 code. If the response is an undergraduate teaching training college, write the grades and years passed and circle option 9.
• When trades are declared such as: carpentry, blacksmith work, beautician work, cooking, plumbing, sewing, electricity, among others, or technical or commercial careers such as: auto mechanic, bilingual secretary, private accountant, computer technician, food technician, among others, investigate what prerequisite was needed to enroll (elementary or middle school), record the years passed in the career, and circle the level code in the corresponding option.

• Record in the level 8 code the last grade of technical or commercial studies passed with high school finished. When the response is Superior University Technician, record the last grade passed and circle that same level.
• Investigate if the career is technical (1 to 2 years) or at the undergraduate level (3 or more years). If it is a technical career, record the grade passed and circle the level 8 code. Note the last grade passed and circle the level 8 code. Note the last grade that the person passed and circle level 10 if he/she declares a university degree.
• Also consider as a masters the medical concentration (general surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, etc.), record the grade, and circle the level 11 code. In the same way, record and circle the years passed in the level 12, 'Doctorate' for the different concentrations and subspecialties of medicine (cardiovascular surgery, cardiology, pediatric cardiology, etc.)
• If he/she studied in another country, ask that he/she signals the equivalency of the studies, such as the years passed, and record them in the level that corresponds.
• If the response is that the person is on vacation, note the age or grade and education level that he/she has just finished or concluded.

• Note the years passed in the level code that corresponds if the response is the name of the school where he/she studied (UNITEC, CONALEP, CBESTIS, etc.), or the name of the major that he/she finished or is studying (accounting, architecture, social work, nursing, etc.) -- in these cases ask to what level the studies correspond and record the corresponding option.
