P12a. School attendance: Has (name) ever attended school or is (name) attending school now?
This question refers to full time education in an educational institution such as, nursery, kindergarten (pre-school), primary, junior secondary, junior high school, middle, senior secondary, senior high school, secondary, vocational, commercial or technical, teacher training college, university or similar type of school where a person spends or has spent at least four (4) hours a day receiving general education in which the emphasis is not on trade training.
This definition excludes night schools and trade schools such as catering schools, floral schools, etc. It also excludes on-the-job training establishments like National Productivity Institute, Auditor-General's Training School, Accountant-General Training School, Labor College, Commercial Bank Training School, etc. It includes schools where Arabic and other subjects are taught. It, however, excludes Arabic schools where only reading and writing of the Qur'an are taught.
Three options: never, now, past are provided for this question and you must shade only one of them:
a. Never - Shade the circle with the option 'never' if the person has never at any time received full-time education. If you shade the option 'never', skip to P13a without asking P12b and P12c.
b. Now - Shade the circle with the option 'now' if the person is still receiving full-time education at the time of the Census Night. This includes those who are on vacation at the time of the Census Night and would be going back to school.
c. Past - Shade the circle with the option 'Past' if the person received full-time education in the past and is no longer receiving it as at Census Night.
