For example:
Technical or commercial studies with completed high school. Here are recorded the people who study or have studied a technical career and for which they were asked to have completed high school as a requirement; they can be: Higher University Technician (HUT), Associate Professional, and Professional License.
Please note that these careers are generally taught in technological or polytechnic universities. TSU and Associate Professional studies last from 2 to 3 years, while the Professional License can last one more year after completing the HUT degree. None is equivalent to a bachelor's degree. Remember that if he/she is taking or has taken the technical career simultaneously with high school, do not record him/her here, but in 5. Technological high school.
Normal with completed elementary or junior high school and Normal Bachelor's degree. Record the people who study or studied at the normal school here, ask them what studies they were required to enter, and record them at the correct level. If elementary or junior high school was a requirement, circle code 9; but if he/she states that it is a bachelor's degree, circle code 10. Normal undergraduate.

If the answer is "normal superior", ask for the level of education completed at the normal superior, which may be a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree, and circle the appropriate code.
