Do you attend or did you attend a formal school center?

This question refers to the attendance of a school center belonging to the regular system. Participation in courses of cosmetology, haircut or dressmaking, computation, workplace trainings, literacy, etc., will not be considered as attendance.

[pg. 45]

Currently attends school:
"Currently attends school" should be marked for people who are studying during the year even though they are on vacation, waiting for final exams, or between semesters in the case of university students.

Does not currently attend but attended school previously.
This is for two situations, one where the person studied a short or long major/course of study and finished it, and the other when without finishing any major/course of study, the person attended at least one primary, secondary or upper level year.

Never attended school:
This corresponds to people who never attended school.

This refers, in particular, to older people who for reasons related to age do not remember if they attended or not.

For those who responded "Never attended" or "Unknown", the questions 12a, 12b, and 12c should be skipped, to question 13.
