Before making the annotations, follow corresponding instructions. Keep in mind that research about school attendance refers both to official schools (basic general schools from the reformed and not reformed systems) and private schools of this country.
For a better interpretation and understanding of the information, we present below the following explanations:
a) The basic general education of the reformed system (basic cycle) is extended from the 1st to the 9th grade.
b) The primary education (not reformed or traditional system) is extended from the 1st to the 6th grade.
If the person is attending a school of regular education (reformed or not reformed system) and a supplementary school at the same time, the grade or year of the school of regular education will be written down as that which the person attends. Do not use roman numerals.
Below are some examples of how to fill out the boxes in this question.
a) If the interviewed person attends the 4th grade of primary school, the annotation will be:
Primary (1) (4)
b) If the interviewed person attends the 8th grade of the basic general school (basic cycle), the annotation will be:
Primary (1) (8)
c) If the interviewed person declares to be attending the 6th year of a secondary school, the annotation will be:
Secondary (2) (6)
The enumerator should follow the same criteria for persons who declare to be attending the University.
