Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">Column 9: School Attendance</span></p>

<p>Has [the respondent] ever attended school?</p>

<p>This question refers to formal schooling only. Pre-schooling and non-formal education are not covered by this question, and the only form of tertiary education covered is university attendance.</p>

<p>If a person has never attended school, enter 1 in A9 and a dash in A10, and go to A11.</p>

<p>If a person is still attending school, enter 2 in A9 and go to A10.</p>

<p>If a person has attended school but has since left school, enter 3 in A9 and go to A10.</p>

<p>If it is not known whether or not someone ever attended school, enter 9 in A9 and a dash in A10, and go to A11.</p>

<p>In the sample questionnaire on page 24, James attended school but he left school a long time ago. He is coded 3 in column A9. Anne never attended school, so she is coded 1. Mimi is not yet 5 years old, so this question does not apply to her. Enter a dash in the shaded area for her. Anthony and Molelo are still in school, so they are coded 2. David and 1hembe have both left school, so they are coded 3.
