Interviewer instructions

Question 28. Do you know how to read and write?

In indicating the household head's literacy status, the following points are to be kept in mind:

a. Those able to read and write using the Turkish alphabet are to be considered as literate.

b. For citizens of foreign countries, if they know how to read and write in their own language, they are to be considered as being literate.

c. Those able to read using the Turkish alphabet, but unable to write are not to be considered as literate.

d. Those able to read and write using the old Turkish alphabet are not to be considered as literate.

An "X" is to be placed into the "Yes" box for the person being administered the census if that person is literate and into the "No" box, if not.

If the "No" option is marked, skip to question 30.
