Interviewer instructions
G. Information of the people
169. Once the Section "F. Information of the home" is finished, you should ask the population questions to each one of the people who you are to enumerate.
When possible, you should try to make each person provide you with their own information. Only in the case of a person who is absent at the time of your visit, or if it concerns children, will you receive their information from a third party.
In each home, you will enumerate all people who slept in it the night before the "Day of the Census" or who, being absent this night for reasons of work, return to the home during the day. In such form, a doctor who did not sleep in his/her house because of being on guard in a hospital will be enumerated in their home. On the contrary, a traveler who spent many days away from their home will be enumerated in the place slept in during the night before the "Day of the Census."
II. Educational characteristics
[Persons age 6 or older]
The questions of this chapter are for the purpose of knowing the educational level of the population and its specialization in different disciplines, acquired from regular courses.
The first question of this chapter is "Do you or did you attend any establishment of regular education?" Attendance at educational establishments is understood to be the attendance at an establishment of regular, public or private education, in order to systematically study at the primary, secondary, university or other level either in this country or abroad.
233. If the son of Mr. Pereira attends second year of high school, in which box will you mark this case?
Mr. Pereira completed fourth year of primary school. In which box will you mark the attendance at educational establishments for Mr. Pereira?
[p. 68]
The cook of the Gómez family, in spite of being able to read and write, answers that she never went to school. What will you mark?
If a person that you are enumerating tells you that they never attended an educational establishment, do not ask questions 10, 11, 12 and 13; cross them out with a diagonal line and go directly to question no. 14.
If you marked "Attended" or "Does not attend but attended", go to question no. 10.
