Interviewer instructions
Section V. Residence 5 years ago and educational characteristics

(Questions 10 to 12)
(For persons 5 years old or older)



Question Number 11: Do you currently attend school?
School attendance refers to both schools of regular education (official or private) as well as vocational schools that are not incorporated into the regular system of education (schools of 1, 2, or 3 years that teach sewing, beauty, mechanics, electricity, etc.). Also consider attendance as any "pre-school" or "children center" and attendance at schools for persons with mental or physical deficiencies and attendance at courses for illiterates.
Mark with an "X" the corresponding circle in agreement with the response of the enumerated person.

[Below the text is a picture of a filled out question.]

If at the moment of the Census the schools are closed for vacation, work stoppages, lack of teachers or another reason, and the enumerated person is a student waiting to renew classes, yes should be marked in question 11.
