Scholastic Attendance

Column 10

This question relates to finding out the number of people, age 6 and above, who currently attend an institution of learning on a regular basis, be it a school, college, institute, university, etc., as well as the year of study they are in.

[Drawing] Frequently, adults attend centers of study; therefore, ask this question of all people 6 years old or above.

For people who declare that "Yes," they do go to school, the year that they attend at the corresponding level should be written down; for example: if a person attend the fourth year of primary, a "4" should be written on the line which says "in _____ of primary."

If the answer is third year of Civil Engineering, write this answer completely on the line corresponding to "Other," in this way: [Depiction of enumeration form; section: "School Attendance."]

In this part, only one answer should be written. When in doubt, utilize the criteria for column 9.
In some upper level areas of study, the studies are done by semester; in this case the equivalence in years should be written.

[P. 39]

When people are in a vacation period, but expect to return to school, write down the year or grade that they will be entering when the vacation ends.

[Drawing] Do not forget to include the children who just entered the first year of school.

Stop here if the person is below 12 years of age and continue if the person is 12 years old or above.
