Interviewer instructions
Section IV: Questions regarding individual characteristics (8-34)
This section includes questions (Questions 8-34) about the population's social and economic characteristics. In this section, only write the characteristics of those people present at the time and place where the census is being conducted. Whether the household head is at home or not, be absolutely sure to begin by first writing his/her name and surname on the first line of Section IV, together with all of his/her characteristics (from Question 8 to Question 34). Take care that the household head's name and surname entered in this section are identical to the ones written in the first line of Section III.
After writing down all of the characteristics of the household head, whether he/she is at home or not, (except for household members not at home) also write down all the characteristics of all the household members who are present at home, beginning from the oldest and proceeding in order of age, from oldest to youngest. After the household members, write using printed letters into the pertinent section and in order of their ages the names surnames and all the characteristics of those who, while being present at home, are not household members (guests). Answer questions with a box by placing an "X" into it.



Educational status (19-20)



Question 20: Which is the highest level school that you completed?

(Persons age 6 and older who are literate)

(Primary, middle, secondary, commercial secondary school, medical faculty, teachers training college, etc.)

Write down the educational level and branch of the person being administered the census in a way that clearly specifies them. In determining the person's educational level and branch, pay attention to the following points:


For those who had not graduated from any educational institution, write "None".
Write "Elementary" for those who had completed a five-year elementary school. Do not consider those who had completed a three-year elementary school to be elementary school graduates.
Consider those who had participated in literacy courses and who obtained an elementary school diploma as elementary school graduates, and write "Elementary".
For junior high school graduates, write "Junior high".
For high school graduates, write "High school".
For those who had completed a vocational school, write the educational level and name. As for example: "Commercial junior high school", "Commercial high school", "Vocational junior high school", "Religious junior high school", "Religious high school", "Girls vocational high school", "Industrial vocational high school", "Health vocational high school".
For university, faculty and college graduates, write the department (branch) that they graduated from. As for example: "Law faculty", "Construction faculty", "Chemistry faculty", "Political science faculty", "Economic and commercial sciences faculty", "Open education faculty", "Teachers college", "Vocational college".
