Interviewer instructions
(P-29) Level of education: What is the highest level of education that (the person) has completed?
We are interested in the highest level of education that the person has completed, not the level they are currently studying. Thus a pupil at school who is in Grade 9 has completed Grade 8.
If grade 11 is mentioned, probe whether he/she has attended grade 12 but not completed it.
NTC 1 stands for the National Technical Certificate on first year level.
If grade 12 is mentioned, probe whether he/she has a university exemption or not and code accordingly.
If a certificate or diploma, probe whether he/she has a grade 12 or not.
NB: If the person is less than 5 years of age, write code 98
If the person is 5 years or older and had no schooling, write code 24.
