These questions ask about the level of formal education of the population. They should be answered only by persons 3 years old or more.

Question 11: Does he/she attend any educational establishment?

"Attend an educational establishment" refers to the actual attendance in an establishment that is recognized by the formal educational system, which means, an education with structure and content sequentially organized in the four educational levels: Initial, General Basic Education or Elementary, Multi-modal or Secondary, Higher-non-university and University. This includes the establishments from the state or private sector.

Excluded is attendance at:


Academies, private institutes that do not belong to the formal systems and therefore not accredited for continuing or initiating formal education studies.

For example: Foreign language, informatics, and computing courses, literacy, musical instrument and theater courses, teacher's continuing education, labor training courses, technical courses and courses for hairdressing, clothing production, mechanics, electricity, etc.



If the person answer the census is completing a post-graduate education or seminary, it is considered that he/she attends a non-university higher level or that he/she completed university education. In question 19, you should register the name of the university career that he/she completed.

If you get a negative answer you should continue with question 15, which asks about the attendance at an formal educational establishment in the past.
