Interviewer instructions
13. Educational attainment
The aim of the interrogation is to acquire information on the level of schooling of the population. Therefore the types of schools and the classes, grades completed and the qualifications obtained in other types of schools not listed in the questionnaire must not be recorded. The answer "without completed school (00)" is marked for persons who did not even complete the general (primary) school, irrespective of their illiteracy.
The highest education i.e. the highest grade completed (also in case of the students) in the general (primary) school must be registered in the respective boxes, while the other institutions of the official school system the marking is necessary if the person has completed studies.
The completed studies abroad should be classified according to the Hungarian system, qualifications obtainable.
The different types of schools are the following
[Comment of the translator: quite many of the school types refer to educational systems that no longer apply. The names of the institutions might seem not familiar for the experts in the (traditional) classification of the educational institutions]:
The general (primary) school includes -- with the exemption of schools for extensive training -- each educational institution of elementary training, popular school, schools for back warded pupils and the so called "civilian school", as well as the first four years of the grammar school of 8 grades.
[p. 11]
The boxes at the "civilian school" can be used only if persons born before 1935.
The educational attainment, i.e. the grades completed must not be converted into the present educational system, e.g. in case a persons completed the 4th class of the "civilian school" "4" should be marked in the respective box.
While answering the further questions only the completed studies will be marked. The following items are regarded as completed studies:
-- Certificate of profession obtained on the day course of the school for training skilled laborers (former apprentice schools);
-- The certificate of profession obtained on the day course of the former course as well as the examinations on professional qualification;
-- The General Certificate of Education obtained in a grammar school or other secondary school as well as the final certificate on completion of the secondary school in the years from 1974 to 1986;
-- The certificate, diploma obtained by completing the studies in a university or other higher educational institution.
The manual further gives a detailed list on the educational institutions of secondary and high level education, the translation of the individual items seems not necessary.
The following qualifications must not taken into account even in case those have been obtained in an educational institution of the regular school system: certificates obtained in course raining, certificate of profession obtained within the adult training, certificate on completing the grades of higher educational institutions, special exams passed in postgraduate training (e.g. specialized physician, specialized engineer, judge, etc.).
