4.14 Education: for all persons 5 years and older

P - 28: What highest level of education has [the respondent] completed?

Under highest educational level completed, enter the highest educational level completed by each person who has ever attended an educational institution (including correspondence, e-learning, community schools etc.). Indicate the appropriate codes in the boxes for the highest level completed whether a person is still attending full time or part-time or has attended previously and is not attending now. The codes are given in Appendix 7. For children attending nursery school and those currently in Grade 1, their academic qualification completed is 00. For persons who were educated outside Zambia, indicate the appropriate Zambian equivalent of the level reached.

Example 1:
If someone passed Standard 5, i.e. was in school system before 1956, enter the code 06. For someone with GCE '0' level, enter the code 12.

Example 2:
Suppose a person completed Form 5 GCE '0' level in 1980. In 1981, he/she went to study at the University of Zambia. After two years he/she was re-directed before completing the program. For this person enter 12 for the highest level of education completed. The two years spent at the University are not considered in this case.
