7.4. LFQ educational status questions 15-18
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.


Q17 For those currently attending: "What is the grade and level that [the respondent] is attending?" Continuing with the first person "Person 01" age 6 years and over and currently attending in question 16, ask question 17.

  • Shade the appropriate level/grade code that corresponds to the given response.
  • Check that the reported level/grade's minimum age is consistent with the age of the respondent as reported in Q4. For example, it is unlikely that a person 8 years old is attending college "16".
  • If there is any confusion or doubt, confirm answers with the respondent -- you must record what the respondent tells you, not what you think is true.
