17. What is the highest grade of general education that [the respondent] has completed?

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 17: What is the highest general education grade that [the respondent] has completed?
This question is only intended for people who are attending school (primary school or higher) or have dropped out. DTV records the highest general education grade (the 12-year system) that DTDT completed, promoted, or graduated.

In case DTDT studied under a general education system other than the 12-year system, DTV uses the "General education levels conversion table" in Appendix 5 to convert to the 12-year system. According to Article 26, Vietnam Education Code 2005 and Decision No. 1981/QD-TTg dated October 18, 2016 of the Prime Minister approving the Structural framework of the national education system, general education includes: primary education, secondary education, and high school education.
