Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">Column A10: Highest Grade Passed/Completed</span>
<br />
<br />What is the highest grade that [the respondent] passed/completed?</p>
<p>Enter the highest school grade the person has passed (if this grade ends in an exam) or has completed (if the grade doesn't end in an exam).</p>
<div class="i1">If Standard 1, enter 11<br />If Standard 2, enter 12<br />If Standard 3, enter 13<br />If Standard 4, enter 14<br />If Standard S, enter 15<br />If Standard 6, enter 16<br />If Standard 7, enter 17</div><p>For Sub A or Sub B enter 11. If the person, at the time of enumeration, is in Standard 1, enter 10.</p>
<p>If the person has attended or is attending secondary school, enter the highest form passed as follows:
<br /><span class="pg">[p.25]</span><div class="i1">If Form 1, enter 21<br />If Form 2, enter 22<br />If Form 3, enter 23<br />If Form 4, enter 24<br />If Form 5, enter 25<br />If Form 6, enter 26</div><p>If the person is currently in Form 1, enter 17. Someone who completed Form 3 but failed the exam will be coded 22. Someone who completed Form 2 (which doesn't end with an exam) v\'ill also be coded 22 - even if they never went on to Form 3. Someone who completed JC under the old educational system will be coded 23, while someone who completed JC under the new system will be coded 22.</p>
<p>If the person has attended or is attending University, enter the number of completed years the person has spent attending University as follows:</p>
<div class="i1">If 1 year, enter 31<br />If 2 years, enter 32<br />If 3 years, enter 33<br />If 4 years, enter 34<br />If 5 years and over, enter 35</div><p>For a person still doing preliminary courses, e.g. the Pre-Entry Science Course (PESC), enter 25 or 26 as may be appropriate.</p>
<p>In the sample questionnaire on page 24, James completed Standard 3, so he is coded 13. Since Anne never attended school, a dash is entered in column A10 for her. Mimi is not yet 5 years old, so the question does not apply to her - a dash appears in column A10. Anthony is currently in Standard 7; since the highest standard which he has completed is Standard 6, 16 is entered for him. Molelo is currently in Standard 5 (code 14), and David completed Standard 7 (code 17). Thembe dropped out of Standard 5, so she completed Standard 4 and is coded 14.
