Interviewer instructions
C. Education: People of age 5 years and above
This part includes persons age 5 and older. Those who are younger than 5 years (refer to question 5) should not be asked these questions because the interview ends in question 12 for them.
Questions 12, 13, and 14 that are in this part "C" enable us to know if the respondent can read and write in Kiswahili, English, Kiswahili and English, or other languages. Also, [they are used] to know the level of education the respondent has attained.



Question 15: What is your education level?
This question is only related to school. The aim of this question is to know the number of people who are currently studying, graduated, and those who dropped out. For those who are still studying, we want to know what level they are in. For those who dropped out, we want to know at what level they dropped out. For those who graduated, we want to know from what class they graduated.
