Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">15.3 Section III. People characteristics</span></p>
<p>In this section, information is obtained for each of the people living in the housing unit.</p>
<p>Before requesting data for each resident, copy the details from Section II. List people and general data, their names, gender, and age, and write them down in the spaces provided. Do not forget to correct the person number when using more than one questionnaire.</p>
<p>[Figure omitted: image with text]</p>
<p>For the respondent to know who to provide the information about, start with the sentence: "Now I'm going to ask you about...", and mention the name of the person you previously wrote down.</p>
<p>Apply questions 1 through 11 for all the people who are habitual residents, including children, as well as elderly people.</p>
<p><span class="em">18. School attendance municipality and 19. State or country of school attendance</span>
<br />These questions allow us to identify the municipality and the state of the Mexican Republic or country where are located the schools attended by the population who are of 3 years or older.</p>
<p>[Figure omitted: Image with text]</p>
<p>If in question 18. School attendance municipality the answer is here, in this municipality (township), circle code 1 and skip to question 20. Commuting time to school.</p>
<p>If the answer is in another municipality (township) of this country, ask where it is, write it on the line, and circle code 2. If the answer is in other country, circle code 3.</p>
<p>For question 19. School attendance state or country, circle code 1 if the person attends school in the same state. If the answer is in another state, ask which state, write it on the line, and circle code 2.</p>
<p>When the answer is In the United States of America, select code 3. If the answer is In another country, ask for the name of the country, write it on the line, and circle code 4.</p>
<p>If the respondent's answer corresponds to the name of a city, neighborhood, or locality, inquire to which municipality or township, state, or country it belongs and write it on the corresponding line.</p>
<p>For example, if they answer Chapultepec, find out if it is the municipality in the State of Mexico. If they mention Atizapán, ask for the full name of the municipality.</p>
<p>In case you do not obtain accurate information, circle the corresponding code and record the respondent's answer on the line, verbatim, and without using abbreviations. If you do not know in which municipality, state, or country he/she attends school, just write "Doesn't know".</p>
<p>Ask for the state or country even when the respondent mentions that he/she does not know the name of the municipality.</p>
<p>If he/she says that he/she attends school in Mexico, find out if it is Mexico City or the State of Mexico and record it.</p>
<p>The school attendance municipality question is presented in the census manager as follows:</p>
