Section 5 - Education
5.4. Highest level of educational attainment.
This refers to the highest level completed within the most advanced level attended in the educational system. This concept relates to non-vocational education, i.e. attainment at primary, secondary, post-secondary and university.
In Secondary Schools where vocational and trade subjects were incorporated within the system, the concept is also applicable. It should be noted that in cases where the respondents were educated abroad, the equivalent is to be recorded.
