16. What is the highest level of education/training that [the respondent] has completed or graduated?
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 16: What is the highest level of education and training [the respondent] graduated/achieved?
This question is intended for people who dropped out or are studying at the primary school level or higher. DTV relies on relevant documents (degree of the highest level) or the type of program completed to identify the information for this question.
A person, who has completed a level of education or a State education, training, and vocational program but there has not been a decision to award a diploma or certificate for completing that level of study, is still counted as "attending study" at the level/program of study completed but not yet awarded a degree; the highest degree achieved is the level directly below the "attending school" level.
Example 1: A person has completed the defense of a doctoral thesis but is waiting for approval to obtain the degree, and there has not been a decision to award the doctorate, the highest level that person graduated is a master's degree.
Example 2: Since 2015, elementary school pupils who have completed the grade 5 program and are confirmed in the report card as "Completed Primary School Program" are considered to achieve the primary education level.
Some notes on identifying the highest level of education and training are as follows:
