Interviewer instructions
Columns (9) & (10) will be used to record the particulars of current attendance in educational institution for persons of age below 30 years. Column (9) will be used to record 'status of current attendance in educational institutions'. Column (10) will be used to record 'type of institution' for those who are currently attending educational institution, i.e., with entry 21-40 in column (9). Procedure for recording the particulars in these columns is explained in the subsequent paragraphs.
Column 9: It will be first ascertained if the person is currently attending any educational institutions (government or private) or not. Persons who are registered for any regular correspondence courses or distance education courses for a stipulated period at the end of which, are allowed to appear in the examination for the course, will also be considered as 'currently attending'. Persons who are awaiting results will be considered as 'currently attending' and the appropriate code for the level for which they have appeared in the examinations will be recorded. Persons who are temporarily not attending due to reasons like illness, vacation, etc. will be treated as currently attending.
Dropped outs are those who while attending a level as specified for the general education in column 7 (say, primary or middle or secondary or higher secondary, etc.) discontinued study before successfully completing that level. Discontinued cases are those who discontinued study after successfully completing a level as specified for the general education in column 7. That is, a person will be considered as 'discontinued studies' if he/she has successfully completed a level of education, as specified for the general education in column 7, and thereafter, has not enrolled for the next level.
Persons who are not currently attending any educational institutions, reason for not attending will be ascertained and will be given any of the codes 01 to 05, if they had never attended, 11-15 if they ever attended but discontinued studies and 16-20 if they ever attended but dropped out. For those who are found 'currently attending', the course of study pursued by them will be further ascertained and codes will be assigned depending on the course of study pursued by them. In the case of persons attending more than one course, the one that is of full time or higher level or higher duration will be considered for recording current attendance. If more than one code is applicable with respect to the reason for not attending, the code appearing first will be recorded.
