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.
5.36 Question 20 - Attendance at School or University/Special School
[Image omitted here]
This is divided into two parts:
(a) Type of attendance at school or university (whether full time or part-time).
(b) Attendance at special schools.
Note that this is the first of four two-part questions on the questionnaire. The response area for the question on Type of Attendance is to the left of the dividing bar while that of Type of Special School is to the right of the dividing line. There should be an answer to Question 20(a) for all persons. Question 20(b) should be completed only for persons attending Special Schools.
Type of Attendance: Question 20(a):
Mark the appropriate position, full time student or part time student, for those persons attending non vocational school or university on a full-time or part-time basis.
Mark Not Applicable for all persons who were marked None at Question 19.
Attendance at Special Schools - Question 20(b):
For those persons attending a 'Special School' such as a school for the handicapped or a Jamal Class, mark the appropriate position. Only persons scored 'Other' at Question 19 will have an entry in this position.
