Interviewer instructions
Questions 11 to 19
These questions ask about the level of formal education of the population. They should be answered only by persons 3 years old or more.
Starting here, persons three years old or more answer the questions.
Question 18: What was the last grade or year that the person passed?
This is the highest grade or year passed by the person answer the Census who does not attend a recognized establishment in the formal educational system at the moment that the Census is completed, for a person who attended in the past.
In the case of persons who are attending the adult elementary school, you should mark the grade or year, and not the cycle. For this you will use the following table:
Type of studies / Cycle / Grade or year
Adult elementary school or center / 1, 2, 3 / 3, 5, 7
If the highest level that the person answering the Census attended was elementary and he/she is 45 years old or more, take into account the changes made in 1966 in the grade numbering, when first superior was eliminated and seventh was added. In any case, you will use the following conversion table:
Grade until 1966 / Equivalency in grades
Lower 1st grade / 1st
Upper 1st grade / 2nd
2nd grade / 3rd
4th grade / 5th
5th grade / 6th
6th grade / 7th
For example:
--Carlos completed elementary school to 5th grade before 1966. You will write 6th.
--Luisa responds that the last grade that she passed was Upper 1st grade. You will write 2nd.
--Luis attended through the second cycle of elementary in a school for adults. You will write: 5th.
