Interviewer instructions
<span class="h1">6.5 Section VII. Sociodemographic characteristics</span>
<br />In this section, the sociodemographic information of the members of the household in the selected home is obtained. The type of information collected varies based on the different age groups and sex of the people subject to the study, as shown on the following chart:</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>The preceding topic can be seen on the back of the sociodemographic questionnaire, that is, in the next image:</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p><span class="em">Question 13</span>
<br />This question is asked to people 5 years of age or older to learn the highest level and grade or academic year they have completed, regardless of whether or not they know how to read and write.</p>
<p>Level of education. Refers to studies included in the national education system, or its equivalent in the case of studies abroad.
<br />[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>Instructions:</p>
<div class="i1">- Ask this question even when the response to the previous question was that they do not know how to read and write a message.<br />- Studies to obtain. Consider the studies completed in public and private schools regardless of the SEN modalities: in person school, semi in person school, open, adult education, special education, televised high-school, televised baccalaureate, video baccalaureate, technical or commercial studies, as well as education received in other countries.<br /><br />This question consists of two columns, level and year. Below we explain how you should record the response to this question.</div><p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>[Column to record the level]</p>
<p><span class="ital">Educational level</span></p>
<p>00. None
<br />Assign this code in the case of a person who:
<br />Has not completed any grade or academic year in any level of the national education system starting with primary school.
<br />Has only taken literacy classes.</p>
<p>01. Preschool
<br />Has completed any grade in preschool or kindergarten. This educational cycle comprises three grades, children at age four attend first and second, children five years old attend third.</p>
<p>02. Primary
<br />Has completed any of the grades included in this level (first to sixth grade).</p>
<p>03. Secondary
<br />Has completed any of the grades included in this level.</p>
<p>This level is divided into general secondary, technical secondary and televised secondary, and is taken once primary education is completed, for three years.</p>
<p>Has declared this academic level has been accredited in the Ceneval.</p>
<p>04. Preparatory or baccalaureate
<br />Has studied at this academic level. Preparatory or baccalaureate are inserted in the intermediate to upper level. This is a level taken immediately after secondary for two or three years.</p>
<p>According to the national education system, there are two modalities of intermediate to upper education, both are classified in this code (04):</p>
<p>1. General baccalaureate or college preparatory.
<br />2. Technological baccalaureate (bivalent).</p>
<p>Characteristics of these studies:</p>
<div class="i1">1. General baccalaureate or college preparatory. The purpose is to expand and reinforce the knowledge acquired in secondary and prepare students in all areas of knowledge so they have sufficient elements to continue their upper level studies. Institutions that provide this type of studies in the country include:</div><div class="i2">- Baccalaureate schools<br />- Baccalaureate schools affiliated with autonomous universities<br />- State baccalaureate schools</div><div class="i2">- Federal preparatory schools through cooperation<br />- Baccalaureate study centers<br />- Private baccalaureate schools, under its own regulations<br />- Art baccalaureate schools<br />- Preparatory school of the federal district<br />- Open preparatory school<br />- Army military baccalaureate<br />- Heroic naval military baccalaureate<br />- Televised baccalaureate<br />- National college of professional technical education (Conalep) *<br />- Ceneval. Include in this option those who have a general baccalaureate diploma accredited with the national upper level education assessment center.</div><div class="i1">2. Technological baccalaureate. Studies that include a professional training or other college preparatory program. With this academic training, students may acquire the degree of professional technician such that they can immediately enter the productive sector or continue with upper level education studies, if they so desire. Institutions that provide this type of studies in the country include:</div><div class="i2">- National Polytechnic Institute (IPN)<br />- National College of Professional Technical Education (Conalep)<br />- Centers for Scientific and Technological Studies (Cecytes)<br />- Technological, Industrial and Services Baccalaureate Centers (Cbits).<br />- Agricultural Technology Baccalaureate Centers (Cbta).<br />- Pre-vocational Centers for Scientific and Technological Studies (Cecyt).<br />- Centers for Technological Studies of the Sea (Cetmar).<br />- Centers for Technological Studies of Continental Waters (Cetac).<br />- Forestry Technological Baccalaureate Centers (Cbtf).</div><div class="i1">In the case of those studying in Conalep, you must ask which academic cycle they are studying or studied; If they did so after the 1997-1998 cycle, consider their studies bivalent; if they did so prior to this cycle, they are terminal studies in which case they should be classified under code</div><p>06 Technical major.</p>
<p>05. Teacher training
<br />Those who are studying or studied in a major to work as preschool, primary or secondary teachers, or a specific subject area (Spanish, English, French, math, music) or physical education or special education (to teach people with learning disabilities, hearing impairment, blind, visual impairment, mental deficiency).</p>
<p>The person may be studying or have studied this type of academic training in public or private institutions, such as:</p>
<div class="i1">- Basic teacher training colleges (with a primary or secondary school background). Pre-graduate degree program.<br />- National Pedagogic University (UPN) or its state representatives.<br />- Continuing teaching training centers (CAM) through complementary pedagogical studies. This academic plan consists of matching teachers in service who studied a teaching major with a secondary school background, or who only studied at the baccalaureate, so that they acquire the degree of bachelor level teachers.<br />- Higher Teacher Training College of Mexico (ENSM) or its state representatives.<br /><br />Exclude from this code majors at the level of graduate's, master's or doctor's degree whose main profile is related to pedagogical training, that is, those assigned to the educational process: conducting research on the process of teaching-learning, evaluation methods, curriculum and educational program design, supervision or administration of educational techniques, among others. This type of studies are classified in codes 07, 08 or 09 (professional, master's or doctor's degree), respectively. Examples of the different majors in teacher training include:<br /><br />Examples:</div><div class="i2">- Pedagogy<br />- Education sciences<br />- Educational technology<br />- Education in psycho-pedagogical assistance<br />- Educational administration</div><div class="i1">Exclude from this code training, diploma and continuing teaching training courses, as they are not part of a plan aimed at acquiring an academic level.</div><p>06. Technical major
<br />Has completed some level of technical major (basic, middle or university) or commercial major, regardless of the requirement for entry: primary, secondary or preparatory. The duration of this type of study can be 1, 2, 3 or even 4 years.</p>
<p>The main characteristics of this type of major is that upon completion of studies, the graduate obtains a degree that allows them to immediately be incorporated into the production or service environment, this is the end of their academic training, so the studies are called terminal, as if the graduate wishes to continue studying at the next level, they must complete secondary, general preparatory or college preparatory, as applicable.</p>
<p>In relation to the latter, there is an exception to the rule: the case of university technical level majors where graduates can terminate their academic training or continue their studies to acquire the graduate degree or engineer degree.</p>
<p>Institutions that provide this type of studies in the country include:</p>
<div class="i1">- National Colleges of Professional Technical Education (Conalep), program prior to the 1997-1998 cycle.<br />- Technical and Industrial Teaching Centers (Ceti)<br />- Private business schools<br />- Private technical schools<br />- Technological universities</div><p>Exclude from this code the technical majors for teachers, as they are classified in option 05 Teacher training, prioritizing the teacher profile.</p>
<p>07. Professional
<br />Has studied at this level. This educational level includes studies completed in universities, technological schools, polytechnic schools and other public and private institutions of upper level education, which require preparatory or baccalaureate for entry.</p>
<p>Exclude diplomas, as these do not grant any academic degree and their academic background and duration are very varied; in this case, obtain the last level and year completed in the National Education System.</p>
<p>08 Master's degree
<br />Has completed studies at this level.
<br />This level includes master's studies and are taken after the professional level has been completed.</p>
<p>Consider that the specialty of physicians, whose duration is at least two years, is equivalent to the level of a master's degree.</p>
<p>09. Doctor's degree
<br />Has completed this academic level.
<br />This level includes doctoral studies and is studied after the level of a master's degree has been completed.</p>
<p>The sub-specialty of physicians is equivalent to the doctorate.</p>
<p>Column to record the grade or year completed
<br />- Grades/years completed at time of the interview. When obtaining the information, only record the grades equivalent to academic year(s).</p>
<p>Exclude grades not completed or those being taken at the time of the interview (even if they only have days to complete it).</p>
<p>Remember that the purpose of this question is to identify the number of grades completed, so you must ask this question even if the information indicated in the previous question indicates that a person does not know how to read and write. The procedure is valid because there are people who knew how to read and write, but</p>
<p>for some reason have lost that ability: due to illness, an accident or they have forgotten due to lack of practice.</p>
<p>The following graph of equivalences will allow you to make the correct conversion to record the information when referring to grades different from academic years.</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="i1">- Oscar is in the sixth semester of the architecture major, has not yet completed the third year, so you should record two years of study at the professional level.</div><p>Grades that do not equate to an academic year. If the information indicates that a person has not yet completed the equivalent to the first school year at a certain academic level, record the information related to the immediately preceding level.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<div class="i1">- Miriam did not complete even the first grade in primary school, but did up to third grade in kindergarten. In this case consider the maximum academic level was three years in preschool.<br />- Eduardo is in the first semester of the major in tourism technician with a preparatory academic background. Enter the information as follows: 3 years in preparatory.<br />- Mariana completed the fifth semester of general baccalaureate. Enter that she completed 2 years at this level.</div><p>Pre-school or kindergarten studies. At this academic level, the criteria of completion does not apply, as you must only record the last grade a child attended.</p>
<p>How to obtain information on studies in the INEA. When the information refers to studies completed through the National Institute for Adult Education (INEA), record the code for the level indicated (primary or secondary) and in grades the number 6 or 3, respectively, but only if the studies were completed; otherwise, enter code 9.</p>
<p>How to obtain information on studies in the CONAFE. The National Council for Educational Development (CONAFE) provides preschool, primary and secondary education. Of these studies, only the primary education grades do not correspond to those</p>
<p>taken in the regular system. Therefore, when obtaining the information you should record the number of grades completed according to the levels completed in the CONAFE, according to the following levels of equivalence:</p>
<p>[Omitted figure]</p>
<p>According to this table, consider a person to have completed the first grade in primary education in the regular system, if they say that level I was completed in CONAFE; to have completed the fourth grade if they completed level II, and to have completed sixth grade only if they completed level III.</p>
<p>In the case of preschool and secondary studies, adopt the same criteria as the regular system, considering that they are one-to-one equivalents.</p>
<div class="i1">- Studies in intermediate to upper level or upper level education in the open system. Ask for the number of courses completed. The following table indicates to which grade it equates in the in-person school system so you can record it according to the level.<br />[Omitted figure]<br />- Accreditation of studies through Ceneval. If a person obtained an academic level through this institution, consider them to have completed the years indicated below according to the academic level:<br />[Omitted figure]</div><div class="i1">- Social service. Exclude the count of courses completed, the time taken in the social service presentation, regardless of whether they have been completed at the end of the major, as they are part of the academic curriculum.<br />- Studies completed abroad. If you have questions about the equivalence of levels and academic grades of the United States education system with those of Mexico, consider the following table of equivalences:<br />[Omitted figure]<br />- Information that could be illogical. If the information provided appears illogical, for example, that a person has completed a grade or level much higher than matches their age, check the veracity of the data with the informant. If they are correct, write an explanatory note in the comments section.<br />- Data unknown. When either or both of the data (level or grade completed) are unknown, enter nines in the respective fields.<br />- Sequence to follow. If you recorded in the level column any of the codes from 00 to 04 or 99, go to question 17; if you recorded any of the codes from 05 to 09, continue with question 14.</div>
<br />In this section, the sociodemographic information of the members of the household in the selected home is obtained. The type of information collected varies based on the different age groups and sex of the people subject to the study, as shown on the following chart:</p>
