Questions11
This question should be asked as shown on the form. If a person says 'yes' you are to then ascertain whether he or she is currently attending school or has completed schooling. The 'Completed' box is thus to be marked for persons who had been to school, even if only for a few years, but is currently not attending school.

A person has been to school if he/she has attended any regular educational institution, public or private, for systematic instruction at any level of education. The term 'school' should be confined to educational institutions which provide formal/systematic instruction. Instructions in particular skills which is not part of the recognized educational structure should be excluded.

Schools should include: primary, secondary, and tertiary (University/College). The following should be excluded: in-service-courses, religious classes (unless those which provide secular education), adult education, self-study or correspondence courses, and other (e.g. education through radio or television, sewing class, etc.).

If a person is currently attending college or university, mark the box 'Currently attending', (Teachers are not to be marked 'Currently attending' unless they are currently being trained to be a teacher in a college or university).
