Interviewer instructions

<svar a="all" v="BO92A423"><span class="h3">Question 10. Do you know how to read and write?</span><br /><br />The enumerator will ask this question of all people who are 6 or older, marking circle 7 with an X when they say YES, and circle 8 if they neither read nor write.<br /><br />If the person being enumerated only knows how to sign their name, only recognizes or writes the letters of the alphabet and isn't able to read or write a letter or a basic document, mark No.<br /></svar></p>

<p><svar a="all" v="BO92A427 BO92A428"><span class="h3">Question 14. What is the last year or course passed in that cycle or level?</span><br /><br />Once the person being enumerated indicates the highest level they reached, they will be asked for the last year or grade passed at the corresponding level. If they have not yet passed the first year of the indicated cycle, 0 (zero) will be recorded.<br /><br />In the Technical Instruction group, only study of a minimum of one year will be considered. You should keep in mind that the grade or year being researched refers only to the one that was passed within the levels of regular instruction: primary schools, secondary schools, technical, teaching schools, universities; whether they be public or private, in the country or <span class="pg">[p. 42]</span> abroad. Other special study within regular instruction will be recorded under "Others."<br /></svar>
