Section 4 - Education
5.34 General
These questions are to be answered for every individual. For babies the answers to these questions will obviously be None or Not Applicable. This may also apply to very young children. Thus for children up to two years you need not ask the question at all but score in the appropriate boxes. For children over two years you should ask the question since it is possible that very young children, certainly from about three years old, are sometimes sent to school.
5.35 Question 19 - Attendance at School/University
[Image omitted here]
Score in the appropriate box the school or university being attended where the individual being enumerated is attending school at the time of enumeration. If the school is on holidays, then enter the type attended prior to the holidays. If this was the last term for the individual, however, you should score it at "None". Where the individual is not attending school, either because they have not yet started school or have left school, then enter "None".
Where an individual at Census Day is attending one type of school but intends to change schools the next term, score the type which he or she is attending at Census Day. The following are the types of school to be entered:
Nsry./lnfant. This is applicable to a nursery school, the infant department of a primary school, a basic school, an infant school or infant center. Creches, Child Care Centers for the very young (up to say age 3) and Play Groups are not considered as school; "None" is to be entered in the case of any of the latter.
Primary. This applies to a preparatory school (commonly called "prep" school), or a primary school, whether junior or senior department, or an all-age school. Elementary schools, and senior schools are also to be included here.
Secondary. This includes Junior Secondary Schools, Secondary Schools, Technical High Schools, and Comprehensive Schools.
[p.44]
Univ. (abbreviation for University) - This refers to enrollment in degree courses at University whether as a day student or as an evening student, as well as to enrollment in similar institutions of higher learning.
Other - Include here all other types of non-vocational schools not listed above. This category includes schools for the Blind, Deaf, Mentally Handicapped. If the Individual is attending JAMAL classes, the entry should be in this category.
