In the case of members of age 5 years or more and not currently studying in any educational institutions but had once attended school, particulars about last course attended including whether they completed the course or not and reason for discontinuance was asked even those who had completed the last course. Lastly, the reason for non-enrolment was collected from those who had never been enrolled in an educational institution.

    The information collected in this survey was related not only to those persons consuming educational services,but also to those who were not able to do so for various reasons.While the former will serve to verify some of the educational statistics compiled through oficial channels,th latter should help informulating corrective measures for further improving the dissemination of education.
