Questions and instructions

Literal question
Question 9: What is the highest level of general education you have completed?
For this question, only the level of schooling completed should be marked. Pupils who are still attending a school of general education need not answer question 9.

In an intermediate school or a high school was not attended up to the completion of the 10th grade, mark "elementary school, post-primary school." If the person left school after the 10th grade but before the final high school examination, mark "intermediate school."

Persons who have completed a course of schooling for adults to obtain high school equivalency (e.g., evening high school/institution leading to university qualification) mark either "intermediate school" or "qualification for higher education (final high school examination)", according to the level completed.
