Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="GN96A415 GN96A416 GN96A417"><span class="em">Column P14: Level of Education</span><br />The level of education of a given individual corresponds to the last year of studies completed, or currently being completed in the case of students who are in the highest academic cycle in the national educational system. There are 4 academic cycles, which include from 3 to 7 years of study depending on the cycle:<br />a) Primary education<br />b) Middle school education (<span class="lang">l'enseignement secondaire du 1er</span>)<br />c) [Upper/high] school education<br />d) Vocational Training Type A (<span class="lang">enseignement professionel du type A</span>)<br />e) Vocational Training Type B (<span class="lang">enseignement professionel du type B</span>)<br />f) Higher education<br /><br />A year of studies or, more precisely, a class of studies (<span class="lang">class d'études</span>) corresponds to a level of teaching in a given cycle.<br /><br />Note: The inclusion of an individual in the category "Vocational Type A" or Vocational Type B" is linked to the level of education he/she reached on leaving the general education system. Thus:<br />Write "Vocational Type A" for anyone who entered the vocational track at the middle school level (collège, secondaire 2) or before;<br />Write "Vocational Type B" for anyone who entered the vocational track at the upper school level (lycée, secondaire 2) or later.<br /><br />To fill out column P14 you will need to ask a series of 3 questions:<br />a) "Have you attended an educational establishment (<span class="lang">établissement d'enseignement scolaire</span>), either public or private?"<br />If the answer is no, then write "without" below the study cycle and "0" below" years of study.<br />If the answer is yes, then ask the following questions from b) and c), below:<br /><br /><span class="pg">[p. 45]</span><br /><br />b) "What is the highest academic cycle you have reached?" There are six possible answers:<br /><br />1) Primary school<br />2) Middle school (<span class="lang">Secondaire, 1er cycle</span>)<br />3) Upper/high school (<span class="lang">Secondaire, 2ème cycle</span>)<br />4) Vocational A (<span class="lang">Professionnel A</span>)<br />5) Vocational B (<span class="lang">Professionnel B</span>)<br />6) Higher education (<span class="lang">Supérieur</span>)<br /><br />Write out the appropriate answer completely.<br /><br />c) "What is the last year of study which you attended, or which you attend now, from the academic cycles indicated above?" Write out the last year declared as follows:<br />-1st A, 2nd A, 3rd A, 4th A, 5thA, or 6th A if the individual has attended the primary cycle;<br />-7th A, 8th A, 9th A, or 10th A if the individual has attended the middle school cycle (<span class="lang">secondaire 1er cycle</span>, college);<br />-11th A, 12th A or 13th A if the individual has attended the upper/high school cycle (<span class="lang">secondaire 2ème cycle, lycée</span>);<br />-1st A, 2nd A, 3rd A, if the individual has attended vocational [school] type A or B;<br />-1st A, 2nd A, 3rd A, 4th A, 5th A, 6th A, 7th A, 8th A, 9th A, 10th A if the individual has attended a university or higher education establishment.<br /><br />Note: For the last year of high school (<span class="lang">la terminale</span>), write "13th A." Remember that studies carried out in Koranic schools should not be dealt with here; rather full-fledged teaching establishments. Use the classification of cycles and years used in general or vocational teaching to gather the corresponding information for people who have studied in or are studying in an Arabic school.<br /></svar>
