Interviewer instructions
The current attendance status refers to whether the person is currently attending any educational institution or not. Persons who are temporally not attending due to reasons like illness, vacation etc. will be treated as currently attending. So also will be persons who are awaiting their results after completing a particular course. The codes are to be given to identify the broad level of course/ education currently attending. Those who are not currently attending any educational institutions will be given code 1. For currently attending preprimary level code 2 will be given. Similarly code 3 is to be given for primary and code 4 for attending post-primary . Preprimary will generally apply for children attending kinder garten/ nursery etc. though they are not covered in the subsequent blocks. As the non-formal education is not proposed to be covered in this survey, persons attending non-formal education classes are not to be considered and code 1 may be given to such persons .

Description
Definition
The current attendance status refers to whether a person is currently attending any educational institution or not. While every person who is attending an educational institution is necessarily enrolled in that institution, it may so happen that a person
who is enrolled is not currently attending the institution. While most of the official educational statistics are based on enrolment, the NSSO Survey, because of its household approach, bases its analysis on the current attendance status.
