Interviewer instructions

Keep in mind that being investigated is the level of studies according to the traditional system or the current system, which refers to the curricular reform and which is being applied in some educational establishments.<br /><br />You should mark <span class="em">none</span> if the person being interviewed never attended any formal educational center. In that case, <span class="em">move on to question 16 and continue with the interview.</span><br /></svar></p>

Remember that, generally, the informant will state the grade or year that they are in; what we want to know is the last year that they passed.
