The enumerator will ask this question of all people who are 6 or older, marking circle 7 with an X when they say YES, and circle 8 if they neither read nor write.

If the person being enumerated only knows how to sign their name, only recognizes or writes the letters of the alphabet and isn't able to read or write a letter or a basic document, mark No.

Question 12. What is the highest cycle or level that you attend or attended in regular instruction?

With this question we want to find out the highest level of instruction reached by the person being investigated, within the Regular Instructional System in effect in the country. Consider the previous system (Primary and Secondary) as well as the current system (Basic, Intermediate and Middle).
