Literal question

Current schooling
Schooling is understood to mean studies which follow an established program, have a minimum duration of three months, and are associated with an official public or private educational institution, even if enrollment is open, or even if studies are undertaken via distance learning or correspondence courses.
First, describe the person's current level of school attendance (for example: 2nd grade of EGB; 5th of medicine, etc.). If the person is simultaneously enrolled in various courses of study, indicate only the one that the person considers his or her primary course of study. [Translator's note: EGB, educación general básica, refers to basic general education.]
Then, with an X, mark the option that corresponds to the school attendance specified. In the previous examples, this would be as follows: 2 X EGB (1st to 5th levels); 11 X Studies in University 6 Faculties or Colleges (1st and 2nd level).
