Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">Part V: Instructions on how to question and record information on the census form</span></p>

<p><span class="h3">Part 1: Information about members of the household</span>
<br />Part 1 of the Census form consists of 41 questions, numbered sequentially from Question 1 to Question 41.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p><span class="em">Question 14: At the moment, does [the respondent] attend school, has dropped out, or has never attended school?</span>
<br />Attendance status is identified based on whether DTDT is attending/has ever attended any program in the National Education System, including educational levels and equivalent training levels: preschool, elementary school, middle school, high school, intermediate school (vocational/professional), college (vocational/professional), university, master and doctorate.</p>

<p>If the program that DTDT is attending does not belong to one of the above educational levels and training levels, it is not considered "attending school."</p>

<p>DTDT is identified as "dropped out" if he/she has attended a class in one of Vietnam's National Education Systems up to now including the national education system during the French colonial period, the education system from 1945 to 1954, the system of continuation education, the Northern education system, and the current education system.</p>

<p>Some notes:</p>
<div class="i1">- A person is not counted as attending school if he/she participates in courses that do not belong to State education, training, and vocational programs such as: Preparation courses for university exams; English exams; Apprenticeship with teachers; Classes organized by businesses in the form of tutoring; Professional training programs organized by the agency/industry; People studying political theory training program.<br /><br />- A person is counted as attending school if he/she participates in State education, training, and vocational programs and is granted certifications, certificates, diplomas, etc. For example, people taking basic professional driving classes to obtain licenses of B1, B2, C, D, E, or F level are identified as attending school.<br /><br />- A person who has completed a level of education or a State education, training, and vocational program (or its equivalent, for example, overseas programs) but has not been awarded a diploma or certificate for completing that level of study, he/she is still counted as "attending school" at the level/program of study completed but not yet awarded the degree. For example: By the time of the census, DTDT had completed the high school graduation exam and knew that he/she passed, but without a certificate of completion of the high school program, he/she is still counted as attending high school.</div>
