Interviewer instructions
Ask the respondent, "What is the highest grade/year completed by ______?" for all persons five years old and over.
Write the grade/year level of schooling completed on the space provided and the appropriate codes in the boxes. The codes for highest grade/year completed can be found at the bottom of page 2C. For graduates of post secondary course or college degree, write on the space provided the specific course or degree obtained. This will be coded during manual processing at the Provincial Office.
An answer such as elementary, high school, or college is insufficient. Determine the specific grade or year by asking the respondent additional question, "What particular grade in elementary/year in high school or college did ____ complete?"
Note that for an elementary graduate, meaning he/she finished Grade 6 or Grade 7, as the case may be, the code should be "280". For a high school graduate, meaning he/she finished 4th Year High School, the code should be "350".
Report also in Column P16 the post secondary course that a person has completed.
In order to determine whether the vocational/technical course reported by the respondent is under a post secondary education (formal education), the following probing questions should be asked:
Is the course offered/taken in school, college/university, or Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA)? If the course is taken in TESDA, the course is nonformal and, therefore, will not be considered as post secondary education.
If the course is taken in a school, college or university, this question should be asked:
Is completion of a high school course a requirement for admission? If yes, the course is considered formal, hence, post secondary.
If the person has successfully completed his/her post secondary education, specify its title and corresponding duration on the space provided. This will be coded during manual processing at the Provincial Office.
If the person is a college undergraduate, that is, he/she has not yet earned a degree, enter the code of the year he/she has completed - "810" for 1st year college, "840" for 4th year college, and others. Note that code "860" stands for 6th or higher year in college.
Usually, it is difficult to differentiate certificate and diploma courses that are under post secondary education from post graduate courses. In order to determine whether the course reported by the respondent is a post secondary or a post graduate course, this question should be asked:
Is a baccalaureate or college degree a requirement for admission to certificate or diploma course? If yes, the course is considered under post graduate course. Otherwise, it is classified as post secondary course.
The acquisition of a college degree implies the successful completion of a course study. Information on degree received should be collected only for persons who have completed a course study at the third level of education. Such information should include the title of the highest degree received, and an indication of the field of study if the title does not make it clear.
For a college graduate, write on the space provided the specific Bachelor's degree obtained. This will also be coded during manual processing at the Provincial Office.
For those who have pursued and completed two or more degrees of the same level and duration, say, nursing and medical technology (both are 4-year courses), report only one degree or whichever degree the person prefers to be reported.
If an unusually high "highest grade/year completed" is reported in relation to the age of the person, verify the report from the respondent. For example: 3rd year high school for a boy/girl who is 11 years old, or college graduate for a person who is 15 years old.
Put a remark if this person had been accelerated.

Description
Definition
Highest grade/year completed refers to the highest grade or year completed in school, college, or university as of May 1, 2010. This may be any one of the specific grades or years in elementary, high school, post secondary school, college, and post baccalaureate levels of schooling. It also includes preschool education.
Post secondary course refers to the stage of formal education following the secondary education level covering nondegree programs that have varying duration lasting up to three years. This course is concerned primarily with developing strong and appropriately trained middle level manpower.
Post baccalaureate course refers to any course for which an undergraduate degree is required. Masters and doctoral degree students and graduates both fall under this category. In instances where law or medical students have usually earned a degree in AB Political Science, BS Zoology, BS Medical Technology, and others, but are still in law or medical school, the appropriate code for this educational level is "900" for post baccalaureate. The same rule applies to students who are still working on their master's degree, taking doctorate studies and for a person who has already completed masters or doctoral degree. For both cases, enter "900".
