Interviewer instructions
<span class="h3">Section 5 - Education</span></p>

<p><span class="em">5.3. School attendance</span></p>

<p>This is defined as regular attendance at any accredited educational institution or programme, public or private, for organized learning at any level of education at the time of the census. It is important to distinguish attendance from enrolment since a person can be enrolled in school but not necessarily attending.</p>

<p>A "full time" student is one whose main activity is attending school, university, or some other educational institution.</p>

<p>A "part time" student can be defined as one, whose main activity is other than attending school or being engaged in the learning process.</p>

<p>"Distance learning" is defined as any form of organized educational experience in which teaching and learning take place with teachers at a distance from the learners for most of the time. It incorporates all levels of education and training using forms of technology that range from the simple medium of print to the more advanced medium of technology involving satellites, tele-conferencing, networks, television, radio broadcast and other mechanisms.
