Interviewer instructions
The term “school” refers to any kind of formal school and excludes short courses (typing. sewing) or religious education such as Bible school or Koranic school. It includes technical or vocational training beyond primary school. If a person dropped out of school or university, partial years should not be counted. If someone has been in school both full and part-time, record the number of years at full-time education. Repeated grades should be counted as two years.
