Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="FJ86A419"><span class="em">Question 13 - Educational attainment</span><br /><br />133. "What is the highest level of education this person has attained?"<br /><br />134. State the highest class or form the person reached or is attending if still at school. If the person has never been to school, write "none". You may shorten class and form by writing "CI 4" or "F 3" or as the case may be.<br /><br />135. If the person has been to secondary school, has left secondary school and has successfully completed some post-secondary training or gained some post-secondary qualification, write details -- in such cases give degrees by their usual initials. Enter "Teach TC", "Med. FSM", "Nurse FSM" or as appropriate for other training. If the person has more than one post-secondary qualification, enter the one the person considers most important.<br /><br />136. If the person attended an informal or unrecognized school outside the formal primary/secondary system, such as a Bible class, write "Unrecognized" which you may shorten to "Unrec".<br /><br />137. This completes the questions which are to be asked of all persons. Make sure there is an entry in each box and that the entry is correct.<br /></svar>
