Interviewer instructions
Section V. Residence 5 years ago and educational characteristics
(Questions 10 to 12)
(For persons 5 years old or older)
Question Number 12: What is the highest grade or school year you completed?
Write down in the corresponding space the level of education, [or] the number of years that the person passed.
Examples:
[Below the text is a picture of a filled out form.]
[p. 59]
Do not use roman numerals. Keep in mind that the highest grade or year of regular education totally passed is requested and consequently neither half grades nor grades that have not been completely finished or passed should be written down.
If the person has received education abroad or in schools in the Panama Canal Zone, write down the equivalent grade in the system of regular education of the country with the closest possible approximation. for example: the 8th grade of the schools of the canal zone of panama is equivalent to the 2nd grade of secondary schooling in panama.
Consider as a vocational school those that are not incorporated in the system of regular education and that teach hairstyling, mechanics, electricity, commerce arbitrator (perito), etc. Do not include in this category schools and official schools known as vocational but that are incorporated into the system of regular education, such as is the case of the School of Arts and Crafts and the professional and technical institutes that are found in different parts of the national territory.
If a person studies in a school of regular education and also in a vocational school, write down the grade in the level that the person considers most important.
