Interviewer instructions
This part covers general information related to education in the past 12 months. Questions are asked on the highest grade and qualification attained, and the expenses incurred on education in the past 12 months.
Question 18: These questions are intended to determine education expenses for all household members that were in school at any time during the 2009-2010 school year. These expenditures may be in cash or kind and include all amounts that falls within the last 12 months. When the respondent is unsure of the amount, you should probe and, if possible, ask for an approximate value and enter in appropriate column. In most cases, the authorities of the school will send the parent/guardian a fee schedule, so you can ask for it and copy out the expenses under each category. But make sure that this fee schedule is for the whole academic session and not one school term. The amount should be recorded in absolute value.
Note
Categories A-G: If expenditure is reported in some (but not all) of these categories then the amounts should be recorded in the appropriate column and 0 entered in the other categories where no expenditure is reported.
Category H: This category is used in order to report other education expenses that is not one of those identified in categories A-G. In entering values in columns A-G,
Category I: This category should be used when the respondent cannot individually identify the areas of education expenditure. If the amount is stated in category I, no amount should be placed in any of the other columns. The spaces of the other columns should be filled with a dash.
