For Question 9, Education:

This question must be answered by all persons who are 15 years of age and older. This question is constructed so that all levels of education can be assessed.

[p. 27]

Sub-question a (compulsory school) serves only as a control question. You should be able to mark each person over the age of 15 with "completed".

Sub-question b applies to the education as an apprentice. The attendance of a professional school (winter school, continuing education school, trade school) is included therewith and should not be stated again in sub-question c. "Completed" is marked, for those who have passed the apprentices' (journeymen's) final examination.

For sub-question c the attendance of technical schools (examples on the persons sheet) should be given. These are schools that can be attended following compulsory school or in place of a poly-technical apprenticeship. It is not completed with a Matura [no English translation--final examination for preparatory school; required for entrance into college]. For the interpretation [of statistics] at the Statistic Central Office, continuing education courses, foreman courses and others are not taken into consideration. In case of doubt, it is better to give the school attended. With help from a reference book, you can easily leave the unmentioned training unaddressed for the processing. As was mentioned above, professional schools, continuing education schools, and similar, which guide the practical professional training as an apprentice, should not be marked in sub-question c.

For sub-question d, training should be marked that leads to school leaving exams (Matura). Apprentices whose attendance assumes a predetermined school leaving exam, should be marked in sub-question e.

"Completed" is only marked, when all prescribed final exams of the corresponding education are completed on May 12th, 1981 or the diploma has already been issued.

"Not completed": These boxes have in first place the function to check the training programs that have been thoroughly completed. The boxes should therefore be marked, when a training program is started, although not--or not yet--completed.

Other livelihood is marked for example: rent, support by relatives, receipt of alimony, social aid, other support, special supplementary retirement payment, etc.

Enumerator guideline:
Question 10 must be answered by all persons. However, only on single answer may be made - except for retired persons (individual and widow pension).

Who is employed?
For workers in a family business, especially housewives that assist in the business of their husband, retired persons with secondary job and working students, it can often be difficult to decide if they are employed. In such cases, an average weekly minimum working time of 12 hours is given in the instructions as a decision aid. Those who work at least 12 hours weekly on average are considered "employed," and those who work less are considered "unemployed."

Farmers are considered employed in so far as they spend at least 12 hours weekly for the regulation of the business.

Wives of farmers were entered differently in the last population census. In any case, please go according to if the wife of the farmer works in the stall and in the field (=employed) or only performs house work (=housewife). In cases of doubt, please pay attention to the 12 hour per week benchmark.

Members of a religious order (e.g. nuns) are considered employed. The further questions (11 to 16) are answered for their spiritual or secular profession (e.g. Kindergarten teacher, nurse).

Persons in disabled places of employment are considered employed and answer the further questions on the person questionnaire about the job that they practice in this work place.

Persons who only practice a job voluntarily are not considered employed.

"Setting the course" with question 10
Which questions of the person questionnaire must still be answered is decided with the answer to question 10.

Employed (full and part time): All questions of the right half of the questionnaire should be answered.

Unemployed: Questions 11 to 13 should be answered for the last job practiced. Persons who have not yet been employed and are now searching for a job or apprenticeship are excepted. These persons answer question 12 with "no profession yet."

Parental leave, maternity leave: Questions 11 to 13 should be answered for the last job practiced.

Military draftees in the Austrian Armed Forces and civil servants: Questions 15 and 16 should be answered for the route to the barracks or to the place of service.

Retirement pension from own employment: Questions 11 and 12 should be answered for the last job practiced.

Only widow or widower's pension: No further questions should be answered.

Homemakers: No further questions should be answered.

Pupils, students: Questions 14 to 16 should be answered for the current school attendance.

Child without current school attendance: No further questions should be answered.

Other livelihood: No further questions should be answered.

[p. 74]

Purpose of the question:
With this question it is determined who is "employed" (and therefore must answer further occupational questions). The structural data about employed persons and commuters are among the most important results of the population census.

The numbers about employed persons are further needed for calculating general and specific labor force participation rates and are used as a basis for different predictions.

Information about participation in working life is important for labor market analyses and international comparisons. Especially of interest are the type and scope of the employment of older employees, women, youth and foreigners. Data about full and part time employment in connection with information about gender, age and marital status gain increasing weight in the face of growing importance of part time work, especially for family policy and at regional levels.

The question regarding the predominant livelihood of the non employed population makes it possible to subdivide these persons according to the predominant source of livelihood. This differentiation is of central importance for many economic and socio-political questions, for example: the dependent children and homemakers of employed persons, the employment of in the course of age as well as the numerical proportion of employed and retired persons.

10. School attendance/education completed:

[p. 79]

Explanation: Please mark all schools that you are either currently attending (10.1) or have already completed (10.2). For private schools mark the comparable school type.

Re 10.1 "School currently attended": Persons currently being educated mark the appropriate type of school in the first column. The technical field or major subject should not be entered.

Apprentices should mark "apprenticeship training (including compulsory vocational training school)" even if they have already completed compulsory vocational training school itself. (Attention: apprentices are considered gainfully employed and should also answer questions 11 through 15 for this profession).

Nursing trainees should mark "Intermediate upper and upper secondary technical and vocational school." (Attention: these persons are considered gainfully employed and should answer questions 11 through 15 for this profession).

Re 10.2 "Education completed": All levels of education that have been completed should be marked in the second column, and as necessary, the field of education/study should be entered. Commonly understood abbreviations are possible (e.g. "LA" for "teacher training").

Persons who have completed several similar types of training should indicate only the field of training which was most important for their future career.

Apprenticeship training: This is only to be marked as completed if the final apprenticeship examination has been passed. If compulsory vocational training school was completed but no final apprenticeship examination has been passed, this column should not be marked.

The question is so designed that the school currently attended (10.1) as well as the already completed course of education (10.2) is included.

On the following pages you will find - in the order in which the school types are mentioned on the personal data form - guidelines for filling out the form and a list of schools that belong to this school type. Following, the schools are once again listed in alphabetical order.

General information:
If with the completion of an intermediate or higher upper secondary technical and vocational school a final apprenticeship examination for a teaching profession is also acquired, the field or subject of the appropriate school should be indicated and the teaching profession should not be entered in "apprenticeship training."

The attendance and completion of foreman schools, master classes and other courses at intermediate upper secondary technical and vocational schools should be entered in "Other formal training and education."

"Completed education" (10.2) should only be marked if all required final examinations relevant for the course of education were already passed before May 15, 2001 or the diploma was already issued.

Older persons that completed a civic school should mark "General secondary school (Hauptschule)."

Regarding polytechnic studies, polytechnic schools:
The completion of polytechnic studies should only be marked if it was actually attended. If the 9th school year was passed at another school (e.g. the first year of a 3-year intermediate upper secondary technical and vocational school) only the previously attended compulsory school should be indicated.

Regarding Apprenticeship training:
Apprenticeship training is connected to attendance at a vocational school (earlier names: winter school, continuing education school). In the text field, the occupation learned (that concurrently describes the field of study of the vocational school) should be entered.

[p. 80]

For women that obligatorily attended the vocational school for home economics: In individual states (e.g. Vorarlberg, KƤrnten) attendance at a vocational school for home economics was obligatory for women if they did not learn an occupation or attended no further school. This completion should be indicated in "Other formal training and education" and not in "Apprenticeship training" or "Intermediate upper secondary technical and vocational school."

Constabulary and police students: The attendance or completion of a constabulary or police academy is to be indicated in "Apprenticeship training." It involves practical, professional training similar to apprenticeship training. (Attention: constabulary and police students are considered gainfully employed and should answer questions 11 through 15 for this profession.)

Regarding Intermediate upper secondary technical and vocational school:
The duration of training amounts to 1 to 4 years (exception: Fashion school of the city of Vienna 5-years) and does not lead to a school leaving certificate qualifying for university entrance (school leaving examination).

[Page 80-81 lists are translated into English.]

[p. 81]

Regarding Academic secondary school - upper stage:
This box should be marked if a general educational school that led to a school leaving certificate qualifying for university entrance (school leaving examination), was completed. Entering a field of study is not provided for.

[Page 81-82 lists were not translated into English.]

[p. 82]

Regarding colleges, post-secondary courses (2-3 years) to reach a technical or vocational education:
Colleges (previously: post-secondary courses) mediate the educational goal of the 5-year higher vocational schools in a 2 to 3 year education. For attendance at a college, a school leaving certificate qualifying for university entrance (school leaving examination) is a prerequisite.

[Page 82 lists were not translated into English.]

Regarding higher upper secondary technical and vocational school:
Education that mediates vocational training and leads to a school leaving examination (new: school leaving and diploma examination) is indicated here. The duration of education amounts to 5 years. Also falling into this category is continuing education at higher upper secondary vocational schools that can be passed subsequent to an intermediate upper secondary technical and vocational school. The duration of education amounts to 2 to 4 years and the education is completed also with the school leaving and diploma examination.

[Page 82-83 lists were not translated into English.]

[p. 83]

Regarding academy, college, university:
Here all education (excluding colleges and post-secondary courses) that require a school leaving certificate qualifying for university entrance (school leaving examination) is indicated. Because around 160 different fields of study are distinguished, the university type (e.g. University of technology, University of business, University of natural resources) as well as the field of study (major field) should be cited as precisely as possible.

[Page 83-84 lists were not translated into English.]

[p. 84]

Regarding other formal training and education:
The possibility of entering further --important for the career path -- education, that does not fall into the previous categories of question 10 exists here. This should also prevent wrong entries from happening in the previous layers of question 10.

[The rest of page 84, pages 85 - 88, and the top of page 89 were not translated into English.]

[p. 89]

School currently attended: The type of school is used to depict the pupil commuter flows, in order to be able to foster inferences on the accessibility of places of education. While an elementary school is mostly located in an easily accessible neighborhood, one finds a college frequently only in the region's main city and a university only in a few cities. The information is gathered for the location and traffic planning in combination with the time expenditure und transportation.

Completed education: From this information charts are created that show the number of persons that have completed the different levels of education. These results are also segmented by fields of study as well as by age, profession and other characteristics.

This data is of meaning above all else for the educational planning but also for the regional job markets that are partly very different.

The information on occupation learned and occupation practiced (especially for teaching apprenticeships) deliver basic information about the connections between education and profession and allow statements about the structure and scope of career changes. In addition, they can be gathered for planning of essential educational, continuing educational and retraining activities for structural changes in the job market (e.g. skilled worker shortage)

While school and secondary school statistics provides yearly the number of graduates by field of study with higher accuracy, these statistics can not portray the level of education of the population at a certain point in time, because the population changes through migration and deaths. Only a complete survey like the population census can provide the appropriate data.

Questionnaire instructions view entire document:  text  image

Question 4.29 - Do you attend school or a day-care center?

A person registered in one of the following courses should be considered as attending school:

  • Regular course - pre-school, primary school [grades 1-8], 1st level [grades 1-8], senior high school [grades 9-11], 2nd level [grades 9-11], higher education (3rd level), master's or doctor's degree;

  • Adult literacy course; and
  • Pre-college entrance exam course.


Children in establishments organized to give daytime assistance to children in the early years of life should be considered as attending a day-care center.

Persons who are registered but temporarily unable to attend class for reasons of illness, etc., should also be considered as attending school.

Do not consider persons who are attending only brief professional specialization or cultural extension courses, such as sewing, dancing, languages, data processing; or courses in elementary education [grades 1-8], 1st level [grades 1-8], senior high school [grades 9-11], 2nd level [grades 9-11], etc. on the radio, television or by correspondence.

[p. 110]

Persons who are attending specialization or university extension courses will not be considered as attending school.

For persons who say they attend school or a day-care center, record the school system:

1 - Yes, Private School - for persons registered in private educational establishments, including establishments maintained by community groups, companies, foundations, donations, etc.
2 - Yes, Public School - for persons registered in establishments in the federal, state or municipal public school systems.
If a person is attending more than one type of school, record the highest grade and course he or she attends. In this case, the type of school (private or public) is related to the answers to Questions 4.30 and 4.31 (course and grade attended). The same criterion will be used for persons who do not attend school and have attended more than one type of education (Questions 4.32 and 4.33).
Note: If the person attends senior high school [grades 9-11] or 2nd level [grades 9-11] and the pre-college entrance exam course, simultaneously, record senior high school [grades 9-11] or 2nd level [grades 9-11].

Questionnaire instructions view entire document:  text  image

For all ages

6.28 - Do you go to school or daycare?

Depending on the situation, record:

1 - Yes, a public school/day care - A person who attends school or day care in the public sector.
2 - Yes, a private school/day care - A person who attends school or day care in the private sector.


[page 214]

3 - No, but have attended before: A person who does not attend school or daycare, but haa attended in the past.
4 - No, never attended: A person who has never attended school or daycare.


Now, it is important that you learn key information for the accurate completion of this question!

Consider the following types of school or day care in which the person is enrolled and attending:
  • Child daycare (consider as a child care center a place in which a child at early ages attends during the day);
  • Pre-school (or kindergarten);
  • Literacy class - CA;
  • Youth and Adult Literacy - AJA;
  • Regular courses - elementary school or secondary school;
  • Youth and Adult Education - EJA or alternative elementary school or secondary school;
  • Higher Education, Master's degree or PhD, and
  • Professional degree (minimum of 360 hours).


[page 215]

Besides a person who attends courses on site, you should also consider a person attending school at any educational level (primary, secondary or higher) in the form of Long Distance Education -EAD, accredited by the MEC for this type of teaching.

What is it?
What is Long Distance Learning (EAD)?

This mode of learning is based on teaching-learning via technology, which allows the learning process to be versatile, since the interaction between teacher and students can happen at different times and in different physical spaces. Besides that, long distance education also allows for classroom activities.

But what if the person is temporarily impaired to attend classes due to illness, etc.?
In this case, consider that person as attending school.
Do not consider a person attending school if the setting is:
  • A short vocational or cultural course, such as sewing, dance, languages, computing;
  • Higher education, for professional development or as an extension of previous education;


[page 216]

  • Elementary and Secondary Schools (2nd grade) courses offered via radio and television or by correspondence, and
  • Pre-university courses.


Now, you know how to consider if a person is attending school or daycare. However, it is necessary to distinguish when the school or day care center is classified as public or private, as there is one answer for each item.

Consider as:
Public Sector- federal, state and municipal schools and day care centers.

Private Sector- private schools or day care centers, including some establishments funded by neighborhood associations, businesses, foundations and donations.

Whenever the person attended more than one school (public or private) you should count the sector in which the person received the highest level of education.

Attention!
If a person studies a certification or technical degree program and, simultaneously, college, consider college as the highest level.

[page 217]

So, how about a resident who is not currently in school but previously attended school?

This refers to residents who are not currently enrolled in school, but previously attended school, in any of the courses mentioned above whether public or private.

Did you know what names were used in the Brazilian educational system, in earlier times? Let's learn about them!
The old education system in Brazil had:
  • 1st level - divided into eight grades;
  • 2nd level- structured in three or four grades;
  • 3rd level or higher - its structure varied according to the course. At this level, students could earn credit or courses according to the discipline, either by semesters, or yearly.


The system of education prior to the one above, had:
  • Elementary (elementary school) - divided into four, five or six grades, depending on the era;
  • 1st Level (middle school) - divided into four or five sets, depending on the time;
  • 2nd level (classic, scientific, etc.) - Structured in three or four grades, depending on the time, and
  • Higher education- structured according to the discipline.


[page 218]

Also consider as having attended school a person that took the tests according to Article 99 (1st level or 2nd level for middle school) or alternative (elementary or first level or second year) and approved the course, even if she/he never went to school.

And the person who never attended?
This situation is for the person who never attended any course included in the definition of school attendance.

Question 7: Are you economically active, unemployed?
Persons who are part of an employment/service relationship, pursue an independent trade, practice a liberal profession, or work as family workers are considered economically active. Persons participating in programs aimed at further education, retraining/reeducation and rehabilitation and are in possession of a work contract should also mark "economically active". Services performed on an honorary basis are not considered an economic activity.

"Economically active up to 36 hours per week" should also be marked if work is performed by the hour, half days or on certain days of the week only.

Unemployed persons who are earning some money on the side should mark "economically active up to 36 hours per week" in addition to "unemployed, looking for work."

Juveniles in their first year of vocational training who do not have a contract of employment/training should mark both "not economically active" and "pupil, student".


For all persons

7. Full-time education.

The questions on full-time education are strictly limited, to persons aged five years and over. They refer to full-time education in an educational institution like primary, middle, secondary, commercial or technical school, teacher training college, university or similar type of school where a person spends or has spent at least four hours a day receiving general education in which the emphasis is not on vocational or trade training.

This definition excludes private tuition, correspondence courses, night schools, trade schools such as flair catering, motor driving schools, vocational training schools, etc. It also excludes on-the-job training establishments like productivity institute, auditor-general's training school, agricultural training school, forestry training school, textile training school, draughtsmanship school, military academy, police training school, survey school, labour college, etc. It also excludes ungraded schools like nurseries and the Arabic schools where nothing but the reading and writing of the Koran is taught. This does not mean that schools where Arabic is taught should automatically be excluded because there are recognized schools where Arabic and other subjects are taught.

1a. Have you attended or are you attending school now?

Three boxes marked never, past, now, are provided for this question and you should mark a cross in only one of them.

(a) Never- Mark a cross in this box if the person has never at any time received full-time education.
(b) Past- Mark a cross in this box if the person received full-time education in the past and is no longer receiving it.
(c) Now- Mark a cross in this box if the person is still receiving full-time education at the time of the Census.

Column P15 Individual's Status with Regard to Economic Activity Status (Situation Individuelle Par Rapport Ć  l'Activite Economique)

Economic activity refers to productive work, i.e., paid work or remunerative labor. Thus, a mother who works hard in the fields to grow food destined for consumption by her family engages in remunerative labor; if she sells part of her agricultural production one could say that she is paid. She can buy other goods and services used to supply her family's basic needs with this money. Obviously, the salaried worker, the store keeper, the traveling salesperson, the blacksmith, etc., [all] engage in productive work or rather, economic activity. Thus, for the purposes of the census, the terms "economic activity," "profession," "occupation," and "employment" are all synonyms, since they all refer to the exercise of "productive work," "paid work," or "remunerative work".

[p. 46]

The variable "Individual's Status with Regard to Economic Activity" attempts to distinguish what they practice, whether or not they are engaged in an economic activity during the course of the given reference period related to economic activity. In the definition of modalities of this the National Census Bureau has moreover highlighted the concern with having too many details on [an] an individual case/instance where there is no exercise of an economic activity. In effect, all these cases [are] identical. Here, one of the modalities/options is presented:

a) Employed. Anyone, male or female, who has an economic activity in the course of the data reference period is "employed."
b) Unemployed. Any worker who has stopped practicing his/her economic activity and is, in the course of the data reference period, without paid or remunerative work, and is looking for a job, is "unemployed."
c) Looking for first job. Anyone, male or female, who has never had a paid or remunerative job and who is, over the course of the data reference period, looking for his/her first paying or remunerative job, is considered to be "looking for his/her first job."
d) Housewife. A "housewife" is any woman who, over the course of the data reference period has not been engaged in any economic activity, is not looking for an economic activity, has not looked for an economic activity or gone to any learning establishment, and dedicates herself exclusively to household tasks in her own household.
e) Retired. Any person, male or female, who has stopped exercising his/her economic activity and receives any type of retirement or disability pension paid by a social security administration or the state for a previous economic activity, is "retired."
f) Independent Income. This category is for any person, male or female, who does not engage in any economic activity over the course of the data reference period; is not seeking an economic activity over the course of the data reference period; draws his/her revenue and support from a guaranteed source of income (interest due on a more or less regular basis from invested funds or funds invested in farming, such as rental of land and/or buildings, certain types of capital equipment, etc.)
g) Student. Anyone registered for and attending a scholastic institution for the purpose of a general, technical or vocational education, or anyone attending a university in order to pursue and advanced degree, is a "student."
h) Other Inactive. This category groups anyone who does not engage in any economic activity, is not looking to engage in any economic activity over the course of the data reference period, and does not fall into one of the preceding categories.


How can you ask questions that will allow you to receive the appropriate answers? In the most cases proceed as follows:

[p. 47]

"Have you worked in the last 7 days?"
Or
"Have you engaged in any paid work in the last 7 days?"
Or
"Have you engaged in any remunerative activity in the last 7 days?"

a) If the answer is yes, the person is employed.
b) If the answer is no, many answers are still possible: 7 of them, to be precise.
You should then ask a series of questions, in the order given in the questionnaire, to successively verify which of the 7 answers is the correct one, unless you have good reasons for proceeding in another way.

Specific cases
1) The reference period in rural areas is one year in order to eliminate the negative effects of farmers' normal period of inactivity (dry season, off season). Thus, all individuals (man, woman, and women not attending an educational establishment) who work in agricultural, fishing, hunting or pastoral activities in this way are employed.
2) All married women who work at any economic activity during the reference period (fields, gardens, small business or micro-business, sewing, craftwork, etc.) while at the same time working in the home as a housewife in the classical sense (cooking, collecting water, gathering firewood, caring for children, etc.) should be considered employed regardless of the magnitude and regularity of her economic activity. Apply this same rule in the case of all unmarried women who have domestic responsibilities within the household while at the same time engaging in an economic activity.
3) Children aged 6-18 who regularly attend a general, technical or vocational schooling/educational establishment full time should be considered as students, even if, during the reference week, they have engaged in an economic activity.
4) Retired workers who draw a pension should be classified as employed if they have worked in an economic activity during the reference week, or in agricultural or pastoral work in the course of the year.
5) A business executive who has been relieved of his duties and is without a new appointment, and stays at home doing nothing during the reference period, is not considered unemployed if he continues to draw a salary and figure on the list of personnel: he is employed.

Given that the individual's type of economic activity is pre-coded, circle the corresponding number once you have received the appropriate response.

Warning: 1) If the answer is "employed" or "unemployed that is, if you have code number (1) or (2), ask questions related to one of the following variables: "profession or economic activity exercised," "employment status in economic activity exercised" and "branch of economic activity," which are situated in columns P16, P17 and P18, respectively.

2) If the answer is "looking for first job," "housewife," "retired," "independent income/pensioner" (rentier), "student," or "non-active other," you should have circled one of the following numbers: (3), (4), (5), (6), (7) or (8). In these cases, do not ask any questions related to the variables: "profession or economic activity exercised," and "branch of economic activity," and therefore you won't write anything in columns P16, P17, and PIS. Go directly to the variable "marital status," (column P19).

This section comprises questions 8, 9, and 10, and those questions should be asked to persons aged 5 years or older.

Column number 9: Did you attend school during the current month of April?
School attendance is not limited to primary [elementary] school only. It is desired to find out if, during the reference month, the person attended any educational center, this can be an elementary school, secondary school, or other educational establishment.

Since the University is not in session during the month of April, all university students will be marked down as not attending, which is untrue. To avoid this anomaly, the enumerator should ask if the person is attending the university; if this is the case, "yes" should be written down in column 9.

If the person had attended, as a student, any educational center at least once during the month of April, the answer is "yes".

Children 5 years of age who attend a kindergarten or day care are not considered to be attending school.

Column number 10: Last year completed
With this information, it is desired to know the educational level of the population and it is necessary that the enumerator pay special attention [to the occupant].

For the persons who have never attended school and for those who attended but did have not complete even their first year of study, a dash (-) is written down.

For the rest of the population, the number of the last year completed is written down, followed by a letter "P" for primary, "S" for secondary, or "U" for university.

[p. 21]

Some faculties in our [Honduran] University have a preparatory course. For those university students who have passed preparatory but who have not entered the first year of university studies, the annotation is "PU", which means University Preparatory.

The annotation will be as follows: 3P, 2S, 1PU, and 4U; meaning third year in primary, second year in secondary, first year in university preparatory, and fourth year in university.

Studies in the Vocational Technical Institute, School of Arts and Trades, Industrial Arts School, School of Fine Arts, and similar are considered to be secondary education.

Be careful when interviewing current students. The question refers to the last year completed and not to the current year of study. E.g. for a child attending the third year of primary, "2P" is written down since the last year completed is second.

For the child attending the first year of primary, a dash (-) is recorded since no studies have been completed.

For the person attending the first year of secondary, "6P" is recorded since the last year completed is the sixth grade in primary.

For those in their first year at the university, ask if they attended the preparatory course, if this is the case, 1PU is recorded. Otherwise, write 5S since the last year completed is the fifth grade in secondary.

B) Educational Characteristics (Only for persons aged six and older)

Questions 10-13 refer to the level of literacy and years of study the enumerated person has completed or is completing. For this reason, only ask person aged six and older these questions.

The purpose of these questions is to discover the level of education of the population in relation to its demographic, economic and social characteristics.

Question set 11: Level of education
What was the last grade or year in primary or secondary school, or higher education, that you/the person successfully completed?

Note that two pieces of information are required here: a) The highest level of education; and b) The last year successfully completed at that level.

[p. 36]

The normal educational system in Guatemala has several levels: a) Primary; b) Secondary; c) Higher education

The following definitions will help you categorize the population correctly according to the above.

Primary Education. This education is intended to provide the basic elements of instruction. (grades 1-6).

Secondary Education. The purpose of this level is to provide general, or specialized, or both, types of education. The minimum requirement for students to be admitted is completion of primary education. This level of education is currently divided into basic [junior high] and high school.

Higher Education. This is instruction provided in universities and higher-level technical institutions. The minimum requirement for students to be admitted is completion of secondary education.

The form provides several boxes for recording the respondent's answer.

The "None" box, 00, is for those who have not passed any grade or are illiterate.

The spaces after the various levels of instruction, "Primary 1___," Secondary 2___," and Higher Education 3___" are for recording the highest grade or year passed.

Box 99, "Unknown," is provided for cases where the respondent is unable to provide information about a family member. For example:

a) If a person passed the third year of primary school, write 3 after "Primary 1" (Primary 1 3).
[p. 37]
b) If a person says that he/she has passed the first year of high school, find out if it was under the new system in which case write Secondary 2 4. If it was under the old system write Secondary 2 1. Do the same for all branches of secondary.

c) If a person says s/he has passed the university preparation course (CUEG) write Higher Education 3 P.

d) Remember to ask for the last grade passed and not the grade being attended.

If the person is attending the university preparation course (CUEG) write Higher Education 2 5 or 6 according to the last grade studied in secondary school

Filling in part "III. Occupation of the enumerated persons"

Part III. Of the questionnaire will be completed only in the case of persons over 14 years and over (persons born in 1955 or after) as follows: question 16 should be recorded for everybody, question 17-18 only for those who are not working, question 19 will be filled in again for everybody while questions 20-22 for those who are having gainful employment.

Defining whether a person is working -- having a gainful employment -- requires the consideration of several issues. It is possible to take into account on the one hand the status at the reference date of the census while on the other to consider the activity status during the whole year.

As far as the present enumeration is concerned the question should be answered upon the activity status at the reference date of the census, more exactly upon the status of the last week of 1969. The persons having been employed by a company, having been members of co-operative, private entrepreneur or family helper in the given period (that is in the last week of 1969) are regarded as working.

In the case of persons not working in the last week of 1969, by answering the further (17-19) questions reference will be given to the activity during the previous year. Answering questions is important to the effect of having explicit information on the respective characteristics of the person.

Consequently before answering question 16 it has to be clarified whether in the last week of 1969 was the person working or not i.e. whether at the reference date of the census is performing gainful activity. In the case of persons not having gainful activity it should be answered in the case of the persons have had ever a gainful activity or not, in the case of he is a pensioner or dependent, or in the case of he is actually changing his position.

In case of conscripts and imprisoned persons, the answer should be given on the basis of the activity before commencement of the service or that of the imprisonment.

The answer is "yes" in the case of in the last week of December the person had an employment contract, was (working) member of a co-operative or private entrepreneur (all the persons listed before but those being on for childcare leave as well as pensioners having a working contract as permitted by the legislation). The answer is "yes" in case the person during the last week of 1969 had been sick or on leave (winter holiday, maternity leave) and consequently the working contract (or the membership status in the co-operative) have not broken.

[p.22]

Consequently the answer is "yes" in case of:

  • Employees of the companies, institutions, offices, co-operatives and private entrepreneurs having working contract for the last week of 1969 (even in the case of in part-time or outside worker) including the pensioners who due to working status temporarily abandons to receive the pension;
  • Members of the agricultural, industrial and other co-operatives provided their membership had been valid at the reference date of the census, i.e. in the last week of 1969;
  • Agricultural and non-agricultural private entrepreneurs;
  • Family helpers of non-agricultural private entrepreneurs;
  • Odd job workers or persons having similar activity status, provided they worked in the last week of December 1969;
  • Persons having earnings by letting their land, having subtenant, night-lodger in their dwellings (properties), or financed by somebody upon a contract of support; and
  • In case of conscripts and reservists on duty as well as of imprisoned persons provided they had been working before the commencement of the service or the imprisonment.

In case of family helpers in agriculture (family helpers of the members of agricultural co-operatives, of agricultural private entrepreneurs and those of having income from double -- agricultural and non-agricultural - works) being usually active in the collective or private farms) -- as in the least week of the year they are not performing the works the answer "yes" must not be answered. After marking the answer "no" in case of these persons attention should be given to the proper answers to questions 17-19 those will be considered in defining the characteristics and length of the work performed in the year as a whole.

The answer "no" must be underlined in case of all the persons not listed above, that is in case of persons who did not have a gainful activity in the last week of December 1969, that is in case of:

  • Odd job workers who did not work in the last week of 1969,
  • Seasonal workers -- irrespective of the length of work during the year - not working on the last week of the year,
  • Family helpers of the members of agricultural co-operatives, of agricultural private entrepreneurs and those of having income from double -- agricultural and non-agricultural - works) being usually active in the collective or private farms,
  • Pensioners, rentiers (of own or derivative right) even in the case of while receiving the pension are working for a payment allowed by legislation (e.g. HUF 500 monthly or HUF 6 000 yearly). The pensioners who due to working status temporarily abandon to receive the pension as well as those while receiving a derivative pension, rent have a full-time employment should not be regarded as pensioners,
  • The persons being on unpaid holidays for taking care of their children and those being on a "child-care leave",
  • [p.23]
  • Persons supported exclusively by their relatives,
  • Persons over 14 years of age conducting regular studies (in primary, secondary schools, institutions of higher education), participating in professional training, in specialized courses, lectures without having a working contract,
  • Each person not having an independent income, earning and is supported by a private person or an institution (domestic help, maid, persons maintained in institutions, etc.),
  • Conscripts and imprisoned persons who did not work before the enrollment.

Further question of part III. Of the questionnaire will be answered depending on the "yes" or "no" answer given for question 16.

II. Educational attainment

Studies and qualifications obtained in formal education have to be taken into account in questions 17.1.--20

Persons in formal education are in legal status with the school as pupils or students. Questions regarding school attendance must be answered only in case the respondent is in legal status with the school as pupil or student (question 17.1 must be answered also in case of attending infant nursery or kindergarten), completed educational attainment must be taken into account only if it had been obtained in formal education. Persons attending schools outside formal education (e.g. trainings) are not in legal status with the school, so these studies and certificates must not be counted.

17.1. Are you currently studying or attending school, including infant nursery/kindergarten?
The question has to be answered irrespectively of the person's age. In case the person goes to nursery or kindergarten please follow at question 21. In case a person attends more than one school the same time, the highest level has to be taken into account (the later one in the list). In case of answer no, please continue at question 18.

Part G: Education

Introduction
This part of the questionnaire deals with the subject of education. The goal of the questions is to receive information on the population's education level and type of education.
The data received will allow us to study, among other things, the distribution of different population groups according to people's number of schooling years in different types of schools (high school, post-secondary school or higher education), how many of them received matriculation certificates, how many received other diplomas, and the number of academics in Israel. The data allows us to analyze the relations between education and people's occupations, or between education and housing conditions, etc.
In addition, the data is used for assessing the population's education resources and for planning education services, such as frameworks for professional studies, adult education, etc.
All questions in this part are addressed at persons aged 15 or more.

2. Instructions for answering questions

a. Studies in school (academic institution)
The question distinguishes between three groups of people:
People who are studying today, people who studied in the past and are not studying today, and people who never studied. This distinction allows us to learn about each group and analyze its characteristics. For example: the number of people who are studying during the period of the population census.
People who studied in the past or are studying today will be asked about the types of schools they attended, number of schooling years, and their highest diploma. People who never studies will not be asked additional questions concerning education.

Question 6.10 - Have you ever studied in the past, or currently studying, in a school (academic institution)?
The following are also considered as schools: university, night school, course lasting at least one school year, yeshiva or kollel.

[] 1 Only studied in the past
[] 2 Currently studying
[] 3 Never studied

- Studies in school include: studies in elementary school, junior high school, high school, post-secondary school, university and college. In addition, studies in school include studies in academic institutions where studies are conducted on a regular basis, and last at least one school year. Therefore, you should include:

people who studies in a Cheder or Talmud Torah school (religious studies for children in elementary school age), a Qutab (religious elementary school in Islamic countries), special education schools, different yeshivas, courses in various frameworks lasting at least one school year, and external schools for matriculation test preparation.

- This question does not refer to self-education or visits to irregular courses lasting last than one school year. Therefore, do not include:

kindergartens, classes with private teacher, hobby courses, Hebrew Ulpan, literacy schools, training or vocational in-service training lasting less than one school year, internships of doctors, lawyers, etc.

- Studies in the Open University will be considered as studies in a school (academic institution) as long as they are toward an academic degree or a practical engineer certification.

Section 4 - Education

5.34 General
These questions are to be answered for every individual. For babies the answers to these questions will obviously be None or Not Applicable. This may also apply to very young children. Thus for children up to two years you need not ask the question at all but score in the appropriate boxes. For children over two years you should ask the question since it is possible that very young children, certainly from about three years old, are sometimes sent to school.


5.35 Question 19 - Attendance at School/University

[Image omitted here]

Score in the appropriate box the school or university being attended where the individual being enumerated is attending school at the time of enumeration. If the school is on holidays, then enter the type attended prior to the holidays. If this was the last term for the individual, however, you should score it at "None". Where the individual is not attending school, either because they have not yet started school or have left school, then enter "None".
Where an individual at Census Day is attending one type of school but intends to change schools the next term, score the type which he or she is attending at Census Day. The following are the types of school to be entered:

Nsry./lnfant. This is applicable to a nursery school, the infant department of a primary school, a basic school, an infant school or infant center. Creches, Child Care Centers for the very young (up to say age 3) and Play Groups are not considered as school; "None" is to be entered in the case of any of the latter.

Primary. This applies to a preparatory school (commonly called "prep" school), or a primary school, whether junior or senior department, or an all-age school. Elementary schools, and senior schools are also to be included here.

Section 5 - Education

5.52 General
The aim of the section is to obtain information on the highest level of educational attainment among the entire population. Questions relate not just to current attendance but also to past attendance. As such, this section is relevant not only to school children but also to adults who may be furthering their education full-time or part-time.

You must pay close attention to the instruction on the questionnaire which precede the questions in this section.

5.53 For babies and young children not of school age, the question will obviously not be applicable. You should also be careful in the case of older persons who are not likely to be currently attending an educational institution, but for whom the questions on past attendance are applicable. It is recognized however, that adults do continue their education and the questions are therefore relevant.


5.54 The instructions on the questionnaire are as follows:
(i) For persons under 4 years old Score "No" at Q5.1 and go to Q8.1.
(ii) For persons over 50 years old Score "No" at Q5.1 and proceed to Q5.2, asking the question
in relation to the last institution attended, i.e. "what type of educational institution did you last attend?"
(iii) For persons 30-50 years old you must introduce the questions by explaining that it is known that some people try to further their education as they get older before asking Q5.1.
(iv) For all other persons, that is, those between age 4 and 29 years, proceed directly to Q5.1.

5.52 Education
Questions on education are designed to determine current enrollment in educational programs and highest level of attainment. The categories indicated at Q1.14 are in recognition of the fact that persons need not be studying within an institution but may be involved in private study. The level of education is generally indicated by the type of institution attended, but there are instances where this might not be so. There may be for instance within a tertiary institution (like the university or a community college) a program for preparing students for CXC or GCE "A" level examinations, in which case the level would be secondary.

Please note the following:

(1) Persons on holidays from school are to be regarded as attending school. If however the person just completed the term and is not enrolled in any other program, score "No" at Q1.14.

(2) If a person has recently registered in a program of study but has not actually started, score "Yes".

(3) Study outside of Jamaica is to be included, assessing the level of attainment.

(4) Enrollment in a Jamal program is not to be included.


5.53 Question 1.14: Attendance at school/registration program

Score "No" for all children younger than 4 years. Ask the question of all persons age 4 and older.

Yes, at school or other institution/HEART: This covers instances where the individual is a registered student in a school or any other institution, whether private or public. Check this also if the respondent is registered in a HEART program at an institution. Do not include persons who are registered in a HEART program but not in an institution.

Yes, private study: Check this if the individual studies through correspondence courses, via the internet, or on his/her own. Some examples are cases of persons doing Association of Chartered Accountant (ACCA), Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT), or Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) examinations but attend no class.

No: Check this if the individual is not registered at a school or in any educational program (including private study). Score this also for persons who are registered in HEART program, such as Skills 2000 or the School Leavers Training Opportunities.

Scholastic Attendance

Column 10

This question relates to finding out the number of people, age 6 and above, who currently attend an institution of learning on a regular basis, be it a school, college, institute, university, etc., as well as the year of study they are in.

[Drawing] Frequently, adults attend centers of study; therefore, ask this question of all people 6 years old or above.

For people who declare that "Yes," they do go to school, the year that they attend at the corresponding level should be written down; for example: if a person attend the fourth year of primary, a "4" should be written on the line which says "in _____ of primary."

If the answer is third year of Civil Engineering, write this answer completely on the line corresponding to "Other," in this way: [Depiction of enumeration form; section: "School Attendance."]

In this part, only one answer should be written. When in doubt, utilize the criteria for column 9.
In some upper level areas of study, the studies are done by semester; in this case the equivalence in years should be written.

[P. 39]

When people are in a vacation period, but expect to return to school, write down the year or grade that they will be entering when the vacation ends.

[Drawing] Do not forget to include the children who just entered the first year of school.

Stop here if the person is below 12 years of age and continue if the person is 12 years old or above.

Questions for persons who are five years old or more

When you ask the questions: 5. Place of previous residency; 6. Indigenous language; 7. Religion; 8. Literacy; 9. School attendance; and 10. Grades completed, you should pay attention to the age of the person about whom you are requesting the information. Remember that these questions are only for persons who are five years old or more.

Questionnaire instructions view entire document:  text  image

5.1 Illiteracy

The question is directed to the population five years old or older. With it, the ability of the population between six and fourteen years old to read and write is to be known. Also it permits us to distinguish people 15 years older or older who know how to read and write (literate) from those who do not (illiterate).

When the answer is affirmative, circle code 1, in the contrary case, circle code 2.

[p. 102]

A person knows how to read to write when he or she can read and write a message. Not knowing how to read and write is considered when a person can only write his or her name, isolated words, some numbers or can only read ads, signs his or her name and small phrases.

If an informant responds "a little, " "not much," "more or less," "I write with ugly penmanship," it is necessary to know if the person can really read or write. For this, questions are asked like "can you read and write a letter?" or "Can you write something that has happened to you?"

Consider that there are people who know how to read and write and do not necessarily attend or attended school. Also, there are those who attend school yet do not know how to read or write. Because of this, whatever the answer the following questions should not be omitted.


5.2 and 5.3 Attendance

These questions are asked to the population 5 years old or older to identify people who currently attend school and who did at one time. Principally it is to be known if people of school age (6 to 14 years) are attending school.

Current attendance is considered to be the fact that a person goes to school or studies in any educational establishments of the National Educational System.

Past attendance is the fact that a person has gone to school or studied in any educational establishments of the National Educational System.

Attendance can be preschool, primary, secondary, preparatory or high school, professional (university, technological, normal, etc.) or post graduate.

The school or educational establishment can be classified in the following way:

- Public or private
- Of Open Education (in which one attends only some days for consulting and/or taking exams).
- Of Special Education (where education to people with audio, visual, language or learning problems is offered.
- Of Primary and secondary Education for adults
- Of technical or commercial Studies (in which a career at a technical level is offered like in academies, private centers, among others).

[p. 103]

Question 5.2 finds out the current scholarly attendance of the population.

When the answer is they do currently attend school, circle code 3 and go to question 5.4, when the answer is no, register code 4 and go to the next question.

If the answer is affirmative, but refers only to illiteracy classes, courses given in cultural centers, university extension courses, workshops or training on the job, consider that the person does not attend school. Some of these courses can be for carpentering, beauty, English, confectionary, photography, personal development, dressmaking, etc.

Question 5.3 finds out the past scholarly attendance of the population.

[graphic of the question from the census form]

When the answer is having attended school, circle the indicated code and continue with the question of level of instruction (5.4).

If the answer is never having gone to school, circle the corresponding code and go to section VI, about Civil state, if the person is 12 years old or older, if younger than this age, continue with the next person. If this is the last of the list go to section VII of Social subsidies, health services and disability.

[] 1 Currently attending
[] 2 Previously attended
[] 3 Never attended

166. School attendance is defined as regular attendance at any regular accredited educational institution or program, public or private, for organized learning at any level of education at the time of the census or, if the census is taken during the vacation period, at the end of the school year or during the last school year. Instruction in particular skills which is not part of the recognized educational structure of the country (for examples, in service training courses employees, training computer skills in colleges) is not considered "educational attendance" for census purposes. Information on school attendance in this census must be collected for all persons aged 5 years and older.

[p. 38]

167. "Regular" school refers to formal education obtained from accredited public, private, religious school, college, university or professional school, whether attendance was full-time or part-time. Regular schooling is that which may advance a person towards a certificate, diploma or professional degree. Schooling other than in regular school should be counted only if the credits obtained are regarded as transferable to a school in regular school system. The language used in the schools is not important, even if it is not Myanmar language but for example English or Chinese. Regular school begins with the first (1st) class at primary level. However, pre-primary school or kindergarten does count as regular school attendance if the age of respondent is 5 years or above.

Question 13 Do you attend school currently?

[Below the text is a picture of a classroom with a teacher and students]

[The instructions refer to a graphic of question 12 of the census form.]

[p. 78]

Before making the annotations, follow corresponding instructions. Keep in mind that research about school attendance refers both to official schools (basic general schools from the reformed and not reformed systems) and private schools of this country.
For a better interpretation and understanding of the information, we present below the following explanations:

a) The basic general education of the reformed system (basic cycle) is extended from the 1st to the 9th grade.
b) The primary education (not reformed or traditional system) is extended from the 1st to the 6th grade.

If the person is attending a school of regular education (reformed or not reformed system) and a supplementary school at the same time, the grade or year of the school of regular education will be written down as that which the person attends. Do not use roman numerals.
Below are some examples of how to fill out the boxes in this question.
a) If the interviewed person attends the 4th grade of primary school, the annotation will be:
Primary (1) (4)

b) If the interviewed person attends the 8th grade of the basic general school (basic cycle), the annotation will be:
Primary (1) (8)

c) If the interviewed person declares to be attending the 6th year of a secondary school, the annotation will be:
Secondary (2) (6)

The enumerator should follow the same criteria for persons who declare to be attending the University.

[p. 79]

For the cases of children who are attending a kindergarten or a children's center, mark the box,
"Preschool or kindergarten" (X) 04
Persons who declare to be attending a non regular teaching school such as supplementary schools (1 or 2 years of duration), in which education about beauty, tailoring or confectionaries is taught, mark the box,
"Other school" (X) 05

For those who do not attend any school mark the box

P20 School Attendance

Data on school attendance provide a description of the school-age population actually in school. The proportion of the school-age population which is able to take advantage of the educational system is necessary in the assessment of the adequacy of the educational system of the country.

Ask the respondent the question in P20, "Did _______ attend school at any time from June 1989 to March 1990?" for all persons 5 years old and over. If the answer is Yes, encircle code 1 ; if No, encircle code 2 .

School Attendance means attendance at any educational institution, public or private, for formal academic education at the elementary, high school, college or university level at any time during the school year June 1989 to March 1990.

Attendance in these schools leads to a higher grade and ultimately, to an academic title/degree. It includes attendance in night classes.

Include school attendance that is leading to a high school diploma in vocational high schools such as schools of arts and trades or technical high schools, and rural or agricultural high schools. Also include attendance in post secondary vocational/technical schools which are within the regular system of education such as universities and colleges.

Examples:

a. Eulogio "Amang" Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology (EARIST)

b. San Carlos Rural High School


Exclude, however, attendance in vocational schools outside the regular system of education, in such short courses as dressmaking, beauty culture, hair science, auto mechanic, motor vehicle driving, typing, stenography, bookkeeping, etc. Also exclude day care centers which teach children the alphabet just to pass away their time.

Examples:

a. A-l Driving School

b. CWL Vocational Center

c. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Day Care Center


Also exclude training received by mail from correspondence schools like ICS (International Correspondence School). However, if the correspondence courses are given by a regular school such as a university, and they are considered toward promotion in the regular school system, such schooling should be included. Also exclude school attendance in review classes for bar or board or other examination for the practice of a profession or trade.

If a person was enrolled at the beginning of the school year or on the second semester but subsequently dropped out from school, also encircle code 1 for him.

If an answer of Yes is given for a person who is old enough to have graduated from college (25 years old and over), verify the answer, especially in barangays far from colleges and universities, before you encircle code 1.

The education system is the system under the Ministry of Education and the preparation systems that give certifications recognized by the Ministry of Education that is equivalent to different levels of schooling in the education system.
The frequency of professional courses is considered as long as the course is recognized by the Ministry of Education and has an equivalent level in the education system.
The validation system and certification of competencies (RVCC) in the New Opportunity Programs is normally considered part of the educational system. In some cases, for example Senior Universities and language institutes, since they do not have an equivalent in the educational system's level of schooling are not considered to be part of it.
Attending - In order to mark this option, the person not only has to be enrolled in school, but also must attend classes regularly and perform work at the appropriate grade level.
You must also mark this answer for children in pre-school (from 3 years or age).
Attended, but no longer - Choose this option if the person does not attend school either because he/she has finished studying or has dropped out.

C. Questions asked to all residents aged 6 years or more (questions from P16 to P25)


These questions aim at knowing the activities related to education and employment for persons aged 6 years or more [the French text says more than 6 years].

Children aged less than 6 years are not concerned with questions from P16 to P25.


Employment status (occupational status) (P21 to P25)

The following questions concern only the population aged 6 years and above. For persons below that age, one will write nothing on questions P24 to P30.

For persons who are employed, one will ask the type of work or the type of employment they are in, or that they were in from July 15, 2002 to August 15, 2002.


P21: Activity status

Among the persons who are at least 6 years of age, one distinguishes between two main categories:

Those who are able to work
Those who are not able to work.

Among those who are able to work there are:
Those who are currently employed: circle the number "1" (OCC).
Those who are looking for work and who have already worked [before] circle the number "2" (CHO).
Those who are looking for there first job (who have never worked): circle the number "3" (RPE).


(In "2" one includes those) persons who are look for work, after having already worked, and who were actively looking for a job over the past month.

(In "3" one includes) those who are looking for there first job, that is those who have never worked before the reference night.

[p.42]

Among those who are not able to work, one notes:
Those who can no longer work because of old age (RET)

Examples:
1. The pensioners, who are granted an old age pension by the social security agency, and who have paid for it when they were working.
2. The older men and women who do not work anymore, and who do not receive a pension, but live on allowances given by family members or by benefactors; those are also classified as retired (RET).
3. Those who do not work anymore, and who live on the fruits of their own fortune, on gifts, or on private income (REN).


Examples: Persons who do not work anymore because their private income (fortune) is enough for making a living.
Those who do household work without any salary (PF0).
Pupils and students (ETU)
Those who have another reason for not working (AUT); circle the number corresponding to the answer given.

Remarks:

1. One does not ask somebody: "What are you doing?" But one asks politely: "Do you work?" If the answer is "Yes", one obtains "OCC". If the answer is "No", one continues asking subsidiary questions, to know whether he/she has already worked, or whether he/she is currently looking for work and whether he/she is looking for a first job. One will ask whether he/she will take that job if it were offered to him/her now.

Answers given allow one to identify the jobless persons (CHO), the persons who are looking for a first job (RPE), as well as the retired persons (RET), the persons living on their own private income (REN), the housewives and persons living at home (PFO), and so forth, who will be more clearly identified.

The category of persons who are only occupied with housework, without a salary, concerns mainly the women, the girls and the men who are dealing with housework and children; most of those people live typically in towns and cities.

In the countryside, housework goes together with agricultural or livestock farming. In such cases, one will say that these persons are employed (OCC).

Likewise for women who work with their husbands, or with other relatives in various occupations (craft industry, trade, and so forth).

Pupils and students are those who attended school during the school (academic) year 2001-2002. The person who had stopped his/her studies for a short period will be considered as student (ETU) if he/she is still registered in the school he/she attended previously.

[p.43]

However, if he/she has finished his/her studies, and if he/she is already employed, one will circle "1" (OCC). If he/she is looking for the first job, one will circle "3" (RPE).

For students who have completed secondary school, and who do not know whether they will continue to higher education (university), one will circle "5" (ETU).

For students on short term contracts (temporarily employed), one will consider that they are still students, whereas those who have a job but still go to training sessions at night will be enumerated as "employed" (OCC).

The person who is jobless, or who does not study anymore will be enumerated in category 8 (AUT).

One can also include in this category: disabled/handicap persons, and other jobless youth who abandoned school.

2. A servant (boy) is employed, and one writes "1" (OCC) instead of "4" (PFO).

A woman who works on her own (sewing, and so forth) is considered self-employed, even if she works at home; one will write "1" (OCC).

A farmer and his/her aids are enumerated as "employed", and one will write "1" (OCC), even if the census occurs outside of the cultivation period.

Persons who are temporarily suspended from their job, or those who are in vacation or on leave of absence (for sickness or other reason) will be considered as "employed", and one will write "1" (OCC).

A person who has already worked, and went back to school for studying, is considered as a jobless person (CHO) when he/she comes back on the job market; he/she is not "3" (RPE).

Examples:
For a civil servant, who is on regular holiday for 25 days, one will write that he/she is employed by circling "1" (OCC) in P21.
A person who says he/she is busy with house work, but who also takes care of the fields is employed: circle "1" (OCC) in P21.
For a person who says he/she is busy with housework only, and who does not receive a salary: circle "4" (PFO) in P21.

3. If at the beginning of the third week of July, the enumerated person had a job but who lost it and does not work by the second week of August, or if he/she was jobless in the third week of July but has found a job later, this person will be enumerated as "1" (OCC).

[p.44]

Answers of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 lead to directly going to P26.

This group includes 16-year-olds and older who were unemployed at the decisive point of the census and who were actively looking for work regardless of whether or not they were on the job seekers register.
- High school students
This group includes full-time students in secondary schools (including apprentices). Secondary school students receiving a disability pension are not considered students.
- University students
This group included full-time students at universities. University students receiving disability pensions are not considered students.
- Homemakers
This group includes residents aged 16 and over who did not have their own income and were financially dependent on other member(s) of the household. A homemaker was also considered a resident who did not work at the decisive point of the census and did not actively seek work (the so-called voluntarily unemployed). As homemakers are also considered unemployed students studying distance or external learning programs and unemployed school leavers if they were not actively seeking work and were financially dependent on other members of the household.
- Pensioners
This group includes residents who received old-age, early old-age, disability or retirement pensions, and the pension was their only source of income. Children under the age of 16 and full-time students of secondary or higher education institutions receiving disability pensions were also considered to be pensioners, provided that the pension was the only source of their income.
- Beneficiaries of capital revenue
This group includes residents whose main source of income was income from own property rentals, income from capital assets (interest on securities, deposits, etc.).
- Children under 16 years (born after 20.05.1995)
This group included residents who had not reached the age of 16 at the decisive point of the census.
- Other (economic activity)
This economic activity was marked by residents who were not financially dependent on other member(s) of the household and did not belong to any of the groups listed above. Other economic activity was also selected by unemployed persons who were in custody or serving a custodial sentence if their employment relationship did not last.
- Economically active
The economically active population were considered to be residents who were working (except for pensioners), working pensioners, the unemployed, and persons on maternity leave at the time of the census in accordance with these methodological notes.

35 Are you currently attending any educational program for obtaining recognised education?

People are attending educational program for obtaining recognised education if they participate in education programs in regular schools or other forms of education (part-time education, long-distance education, courses, examinations, etc.) for obtaining recognised education at any level.

Yes is marked by the enumerator also for persons who are attending education according to programs that enable retraining at the same level of vocational or professional education. By finishing these programs a person obtains vocational or professional education for a new occupation.

36 What recognised education will you obtain after you finish the program?

The question is answered by persons for whom the enumerator marked yes at question 35.

As explanations for classifying persons participating in education for obtaining publicly recognised education (depending on the level of education) that a certain education helps obtain, it is necessary to take into account explanations for classifying persons by the highest recognised education achieved (question 34).

Question 16 has two parts, P-16, and P-16a. Only those who answer "Yes" to P-16 have to answer 16a. Those who answer "No" go straight to P-17, as 16a will not apply to them.


P-16 "Does (the person) presently attend an educational institution?"

Please include studies by correspondence/ distance education.

If the answer is "Yes", read out the options so that you can enter the correct code 2--8 in the box in the column headed "Institution".

If the person is attending an educational institution that is not listed, write code 8 in the box and specify under the box. Be careful not to write near the boxes.

If a learner is not attending school for a number of days because of illness, s/he is still regarded as attending school.

This question must be answered for all persons, regardless of age.

If "No", skip P-16a and go to Question P-17. If "Yes", ask the next question.

7. Section E: Education (remember to follow instructions)
Purpose: This section collects information regarding the knowledge and skills in the country.

This section must be completed for every person listed on the questionnaire aged 5 years and older.
All persons attending school (P-17) must answer questions on educational institution (P-18).
Level of education should be the highest level completed by the person, not what is currently being attended.
E.g. if a child is currently attending grade 4, then the child's highest level of education is grade 3.
If someone has completed grade 12, and is currently doing their last year before graduating with a degree/diploma, then their highest level of education is Grade 12.
P-21, if a person has a diploma or degree (from university or technikon or college), they should answer from option 01 to 22. Those who have qualifications from FET colleges should answer options 23 to 36.
f. Example - Education (below):
No response is expected for Adam because he is younger than 5 and this question addresses people that are 5 years and older.
Diana's highest level of education is a Bachelor's degree, hence her choice of option 25 (Note the skip to P-21).
Francinah only has Grade 2 as her highest level of education (Note the skip to P-22).

[Figure omitted, example]
g. Example - Education cont. (below):

The question on field of education (P-21) is to be answered by people who have post- school qualifications.
NOTE: options 01 to 22 are for people with qualifications from a university or technikon while options 23 to 36 are for people with qualifications from FET colleges.
Diana is the only person in the household who should complete this question.
Diana reports that her degree is in health care (option 09).

[Figure omitted, example]
h. Example - Education cont. (below):

Household members who are 5 years and older, without any formal education and those with primary education (up to grade 7) (P-20) must complete this question.
Francinah is the only person in the household who can complete this question.
Francinah reported that she has some difficulty in writing her name, a lot of difficulty in reading, she is unable to complete a form, some difficulty in writing a letter and that she is unable to read road signs and calculate change.
Only codes 1 to 5 can be written in the boxes provided.
A person whose level of education is secondary school or tertiary should not answer the question on literacy (P-22).

Note: these questions should be asked only to persons aged 6 years and above. Check the age of the persons as reported in question 4. If they are less than 6 years old, then you are finished asking questions about that person. Go to the next person listed in the questionnaire.
Asking questions only for persons of certain ages or only of females is called a "skip pattern". Skip patterns are used to avoid asking questions of persons that don't make sense. For example, asking if a 1-year-old baby attends school.


Q16 "Has [the respondent] ever attended, never attended, or is currently attending school this year?" Continuing with the first person listed "Person 01" age 6 years and over, ask question 16 and shade the number of the response.

  • "School attendance" refers to any regular educational institution, public or private, for systematic instruction at any level of education. Examples include: primary schools, secondary or high schools, technical schools, agricultural institutions, teacher training colleges and universities.
  • School attendance should be full time participation. Adult or short-term vocational training are not to be classified as school attendance.

(1) "Currently attending" refers to all persons who are now attending formal educational institutions and include those who are temporarily absent from school or those on holiday.
(2) "Previously attended" refers to those who once attended formal school but have left or completed their cycle and are no longer attending.
(3)"Never attended" is for those, who have never attended any formal educational institution at all.

  • For the purposes of the census, Koranic schools (khalwa) are treated as regular educational institutions.


Note: There are skips in question 16 depending on the response given:
1. Currently attending, continue with question 17.
2. Previously attended, skip to question 18.
3. Never attended, skip to question 19.

18. To be answered only by persons who were enrolled in school (at any level of study, of any type) on the day of the census (March 1, 1991)

Current schooling

Schooling is understood to mean studies which follow an established program, have a minimum duration of three months, and are associated with an official public or private educational institution, even if enrollment is open, or even if studies are undertaken via distance learning or correspondence courses.

First, describe the person's current level of school attendance (for example: 2nd grade of EGB; 5th of medicine, etc.). If the person is simultaneously enrolled in various courses of study, indicate only the one that the person considers his or her primary course of study. [Translator's note: EGB, educaciĆ³n general bĆ”sica, refers to basic general education.]

Then, with an X, mark the option that corresponds to the school attendance specified. In the previous examples, this would be as follows: 2 X EGB (1st to 5th levels); 11 X Studies in University 6 Faculties or Colleges (1st and 2nd level).

Notes for clarification:

-Option 2 includes adult education at this level.
-Option 3 includes special education provided for persons with disabilities or learning difficulties.
-Option 4 includes adult education at this level.
-Option 7 includes experimental REM (reforms to middle education) schooling and university access.
-Option 8 includes Applied Arts and Artistic occupations, Music Conservatories (mid-level), Official Language Schools, Army sub-officers, flight attendants, ..., and any other field of study that requires, as a prerequisite, a high school diploma or its equivalent.
-Option 14 includes Masters level, specialists, or the equivalent, with a minimum duration of one school year.
-Option 15 includes Higher Military education, Naval education, tourism, physical education, ..., and any other course of study that does not have a separate classification in a separate category and that requires a BUP, COU, baccalaureate degree, or post high school technical training. [BUP, or Bachillerato Unificado y Polivalente, refers to integrated upper secondary education, a 3-year course of university-preparatory education for 14 to 17 year old students, which also prepares students for employment. COU, or Curso de OrientaciĆ³n Universitaria, refers to a one-year college preparatory program.]
-Option 16 includes courses in the National Plan for Job Training and Professional Development in INEM centers, in associated centers, Municipal centers, or in businesses, ...[INEM, Instituto de Empleo Servicio PĆŗblico de Empleo Estatal, refers to the Institute of Public Service for State Employment]

Year 2 - Middle-level Drama Arts - College of Drama Arts

1.3 For persons who are studying in special or part-time curricula in professional or vocational education, record the number of years required to complete that particular curriculum in addition to recording the level of education according to 1.2. For example:

5.3. School attendance

This is defined as regular attendance at any accredited educational institution or programme, public or private, for organized learning at any level of education at the time of the census. It is important to distinguish attendance from enrolment since a person can be enrolled in school but not necessarily attending.

A "full time" student is one whose main activity is attending school, university, or some other educational institution.

A "part time" student can be defined as one, whose main activity is other than attending school or being engaged in the learning process.

"Distance learning" is defined as any form of organized educational experience in which teaching and learning take place with teachers at a distance from the learners for most of the time. It incorporates all levels of education and training using forms of technology that range from the simple medium of print to the more advanced medium of technology involving satellites, tele-conferencing, networks, television, radio broadcast and other mechanisms.

Title 10: Level of education
208. Write down as a number, on the dotted line, the last year of study passed by a person, corresponding to the class of instruction received in establishments of regular education.

209. Regular education is understood to be taught in establishments of public or private teaching, within the plans or programs of education officially passed in the country.

210. In the census document, eight principal classes of instruction have specifically been considered, plus an additional class [listed] under the general headline "Other", whose diverse particular cases will be correctly located in the process of revision of information after the enumeration. Immediately after the specific name of each class of instruction, a number between "0" (zero) and "8" is printed, which correspond to the code with which each case is differentiated. It is immediately after this code, on the dotted line, that the number corresponding to the year of studies passed is to be written down, within each class of instruction. So, for example, for a person who has passed the 4th year of primary school, once the notation has been made, it would read in the census document: "Primary 1 4"; if the 2nd year of secondary, it would read: "Secondary 2 2"; if the 3rd year of military, it would read: "Military 8 3", and so on according to the case.

[p. 34]

211. For a person who never has attended a center of education or has never passed a year of studies, write down a 0 (zero) for the following code corresponding to the headline "Without instruction" "0 0".

212. If a person does not remember the year nor the class of instruction received, write down the double symbol "XX", in the dotted line corresponding to the headline: "Other".

213. With reference to studies for determined professions, like law, medicine, economics, etc., some students are not able to be sure about what their last year of studies are that they have passed, because of computing the advancement of studies based on the number of classes passed. In this case, it will be sufficient to write down an "X" in the dotted line corresponding to the headline: "Faculty".

214. The class of education "Agrarian" will be understood to be the courses at the University of Work, in:
a) "General agrarian schools"; and

b) "Specialized agrarian schools" (school of dairy, winemaking, forestry, agriculture and livestock, farming mechanics, horticulture and fruits, poultry farming).


Also this includes education imparted by the non-official "agrarian schools" at the level of education similar to those that have just been mentioned, for example: "Jackson agrarian school" in Manga (department of Montevideo).

215. The agrarian education, imparted in the above centers of education, should not be confused with that given in the primary level of "farm schools" -- this depends on the national committee of primary and normal education. Those educated in these centers should be written down as class of instruction: primary.

216. "Industrial" education is understood to be courses at the University of Work in:
a) "Mono technical industrial schools" (mechanical and electrical schools, construction, commerce, applied arts industries, naval industries, feminine industries, graphic arts); and

b) Polytechnic industry schools and education imparted in private schools, but at a level of education similar to those above, for example: the "Don Bosco workshop school", the "Ort technical school".


217. Finally, under the headline "Other", all those cases of graduates, students of universities or conservatories, or of other institutions that do not require studies at the level of "Faculty" should be recorded, even if the classes are given in university classrooms or rooms. Among these cases are:
a) Education by university schools like: medical assistants (dieticians, physical therapists, radiologists, infant psychologists, laboratory clinic assistants, transfusion assistants, ophthalmologists, phono-audiologists, medical archive assistants).

b) Schools of fine arts: painters.

c) School of library science: librarians.

d) National conservatory of music: music professors.

e) University nursing school: university nurses.


[p. 35]

f) School of social service: social assistants.

g) Midwives.

h) Instituto de Profesores Artigas [secondary school teacher training institution].

i) Schools or institutes of commerce.

j) Other schools:

"Dr. Carlos Nery" school of nursing (Ministry of public health)
School of social service (Ministry of public instruction)
School of social service (Catholic)


218. For the appropriate treatment of cases that have just been specified, write down on the dotted line, in the most comprehensible form but at the same time as abbreviated as possible, the class of education received following the number that indicates the last year of studies passed. For example: "Dietician 1"; "Medical archive assistant 1" that can be abbreviated as "Ax. arch. med. 1"; "Social assistant 3"; "Commerce 1".


Title 11: School attendance
219. Write down as a number the year of studies that a person is now attending in an establishment of regular education of the country and the class of instruction received. Use the dotted line to the right of each code corresponding to the class of instruction. As for the detailed registration of information, the same norms for title 10 should be followed.

220. Any notation for people who are taking classes by correspondence, as well as classes for piano, cooking, sewing, or classes for shorthand or typing, should be made note of as a complement to the education received. Also this is for vocational improvement courses. Both in these cases, as well as for people who do not attend any centers of regular education, write a "0" (zero) on the dotted line corresponding to the headline: "Not attending".

This question is directed towards boys and girls from 0 to 3 years of age.

The objective is to reveal the attendance of the children at an initial education center or preschool.

Children are considered currently attending if they meet the following requirements:

  • In the case of children 0 to 1 year, the frequency of attendance should be at least weekly.

Select one of the following options:

  • Yes, attends a public center: This only includes 3-year-old children that attend the centers ANEP or INAU, or the Community Centers of Infant Education and Module Center Scholarship Program for Our Children of the Municipality of Montevideo. In general these centers house girls and boys from vulnerable social situations. They are organized by ANEP and by civil society organizations, the common factor being that the families should not have to pay to send their children, since it is a free service.
[p. 100]
  • Yes, attends a CAIF: this corresponds with the centers administered by civil society organizations under the modality agreement with the INAU. They offer coverage for children 0 to 3 years of age from vulnerable social situation, and just like the public establishments, the service is free.
  • Yes, attends a private center: This category includes all education centers that are not free but office a caretaking service for children between 0 and 3 years. Consequently, the differentiating factor of these centers is that they demand payment for the service provided the children. This includes daycares, infant and preschool centers that are not covered in the previous categories. For example: daycares, preschools in private high schools, daycares in private businesses as well as those designed for the children of public or municipal functionaries.

7.23. Educational Characteristics (Q - 12 to 18).

To continue the interview, care must be taken as to the age of the person as observed in question 4. If the person is younger than 5 years (see question 4 to be sure) no more questions are asked. End the interview with this person. If the person is 5 years of age or older continue with [p. 83] the information on "Educational Characteristics (12 - 18).


7.24. Registered and regularly attending an educational center (Q - 12).

This question is meant to find out if the person is registered or enrolled and regularly attending an educational center. Regular education (enseƱanza regular) is understood to mean formal education imparted by Public or Private Educational Institutions which are regularly attended and have curricula of study approved by the Ministry of Education. These institutions are generally registered with and accredited by the Ministry of Education.

The most common branches of education in [Venezuela] are the following: Pre-escolar (Kindergarten); Primaria [elementary]; Normal; Secondary [High School including Commercial High School); Technical; Industrial or Artisan (of any specialty); Teaching Schools; Universities (any faculty); Military Education; Commercial and administrative studies (Institutes approved by the Ministry of Education).

Commercial, secretarial, and similar academies, including correspondence schools, not registered with the Ministry of Education are not considered to be regular. However, correspondence courses related to elementary, secondary, or normal education are considered to be regular education [p. 84] even when the person is not required to attend the center.

Regular attendance is understood to be when the person is registered and attends at least half of the classes the month before Census day. This regularity is not interrupted when the person stops attending because of sickness or other temporary reason. Mark "yes" or "no" according to the case.

7.25. Does the educational institution belong to an Official or Private Authority (Q - 13).

Each person who regularly attends an educational institution will be asked whether this institution is public or private, marking the appropriate box.

A public institution is one that is owned or supported by a private enterprise, institution, individual, etc., even when part of its maintenance comes from government subsidies.

Generally, in private educational institutions each student or representative needs to pay a monthly fee for the instruction received. However, there also exist private institutions that provide free education to all students; these institutions, however, do not cease to be private because of this circumstance.

Question 10: Is (name) attending school now, or has (name) stopped or never attended?

School attendance is an individual's educational status at a nationally recognized general school or professional and higher education (at college level and higher), such as primary school, lower secondary school, upper secondary school, public/semi-public/ private professional schools at college level and higher, or equivalent (including on-the-job long-term training, evening education, and open education). These types of education aim to provide general education or systematic professional skills in a given time period.

A person response to this question has one of three choices: attending now, attended in the past, and never attended. Therefore, interviewers only can select one of three codes "1", "2", and "3".

If respondent is currently attending general school or college or university or post graduate program, interviewers select code "1" and ask question 11.

Note: Persons who are attending technical school/class, primary and middle professional school are coded as "2 -- attended in the past".

If respondent attended general school or professional school in the past, interviewers select code "2" and ask question 11.

If respondent has never attended general school or professional school (never go to school), interviewers select code "3" and skip question 11 and ask question 12.

Part V: Instructions on how to question and record information on the census form

Part 1: Information about members of the household
Part 1 of the Census form consists of 41 questions, numbered sequentially from Question 1 to Question 41.

The respondent is the head of the household or a person knowledgeable about members of the household. For information on employment and birth history of women, DTV needs to interview DTDT face-to-face and collect information. In addition, for other information about members of the household, if the head of the household or the information provider is not knowledgeable, DTV also needs to interview DTDT face-to-face and record the information.

Question 14: At the moment, does [the respondent] attend school, has dropped out, or has never attended school?
Attendance status is identified based on whether DTDT is attending/has ever attended any program in the National Education System, including educational levels and equivalent training levels: preschool, elementary school, middle school, high school, intermediate school (vocational/professional), college (vocational/professional), university, master and doctorate.

If the program that DTDT is attending does not belong to one of the above educational levels and training levels, it is not considered "attending school."

DTDT is identified as "dropped out" if he/she has attended a class in one of Vietnam's National Education Systems up to now including the national education system during the French colonial period, the education system from 1945 to 1954, the system of continuation education, the Northern education system, and the current education system.

Some notes:

- A person is not counted as attending school if he/she participates in courses that do not belong to State education, training, and vocational programs such as: Preparation courses for university exams; English exams; Apprenticeship with teachers; Classes organized by businesses in the form of tutoring; Professional training programs organized by the agency/industry; People studying political theory training program.

- A person is counted as attending school if he/she participates in State education, training, and vocational programs and is granted certifications, certificates, diplomas, etc. For example, people taking basic professional driving classes to obtain licenses of B1, B2, C, D, E, or F level are identified as attending school.

- A person who has completed a level of education or a State education, training, and vocational program (or its equivalent, for example, overseas programs) but has not been awarded a diploma or certificate for completing that level of study, he/she is still counted as "attending school" at the level/program of study completed but not yet awarded the degree. For example: By the time of the census, DTDT had completed the high school graduation exam and knew that he/she passed, but without a certificate of completion of the high school program, he/she is still counted as attending high school.
