Interviewer instructions
<svar a="all" v="VN99A418"><span class="em">Question 10:</span> Is (name) attending school now, or has (name) stopped or never attended?<br /><br />School attendance is an individual's educational status at a nationally recognized general school or professional and higher education (at college level and higher), such as primary school, lower secondary school, upper secondary school, public/semi-public/ private professional schools at college level and higher, or equivalent (including on-the-job long-term training, evening education, and open education). These types of education aim to provide general education or systematic professional skills in a given time period.<br /><br />A person response to this question has one of three choices: attending now, attended in the past, and never attended. Therefore, interviewers only can select one of three codes "1", "2", and "3".<br /><br />If respondent is currently attending general school or college or university or post graduate program, interviewers select code "1" and ask question 11.<br /><br />Note: Persons who are attending technical school/class, primary and middle professional school are coded as "2 -- attended in the past".<br /><br />If respondent attended general school or professional school in the past, interviewers select code "2" and ask question 11.<br /><br />If respondent has never attended general school or professional school (never go to school), interviewers select code "3" and skip question 11 and ask question 12.<br /></svar>
