<p><span class="em">Question 15- Are you attending or have you ever attended the education system?</span>
<br />[There is an image of question 15]
<br />The education system is the system under the Ministry of Education and the preparation systems that give certifications recognized by the Ministry of Education that is equivalent to different levels of schooling in the education system.
<br />The frequency of professional courses is considered as long as the course is recognized by the Ministry of Education and has an equivalent level in the education system.
<br />The validation system and certification of competencies (RVCC) in the New Opportunity Programs is normally considered part of the educational system. In some cases, for example Senior Universities and language institutes, since they do not have an equivalent in the educational system's level of schooling are not considered to be part of it.
<br />Attending - In order to mark this option, the person not only has to be enrolled in school, but also must attend classes regularly and perform work at the appropriate grade level.
<br />You must also mark this answer for children in pre-school (from 3 years or age).
<br />Attended, but no longer - Choose this option if the person does not attend school either because he/she has finished studying or has dropped out.
<br />Never attended - This option must be marked for individuals who have never attended school.
<br />Regularly this situation refers to the person who has never registered to enroll in school. Additionally, it applies to children who are not of age to attend and have not started pre-school.
<br />[There is an image of the zoomed in Never Attended answer with skip to question 19]
<br />Children who have not started entered the formal educational system must end their individual questionnaire here.
