"Currently attends school" should be marked for people who are studying during the year even though they are on vacation, waiting for final exams, or between semesters in the case of university students.
Does not currently attend but attended school previously.
This is for two situations, one where the person studied a short or long major/course of study and finished it, and the other when without finishing any major/course of study, the person attended at least one primary, secondary or upper level year.

This corresponds to people who never attended school.
