Interviewer instructions
Chapter E. Only for persons 4 years of age and older
If the person is 4 years of age or older, the enumerator will proceed with question 35. If younger, the interview is ended and the next person is interviewed.
Question 39. What was the highest [educational] level or class completed?
The levels or cycles are slowly and deliberately read and the corresponding oval is filled in as soon as an answer is obtained. The last class or grade completed is then requested and the corresponding oval is filled in.
Reminder: Two ovals in the same row should be filled in for this question: one for level or cycle and one for grade or class.
If the person's answer is from 11 to 17, question 41 is presented.
If the answer is from 18 to 23, the corresponding ovals are filled in and question 40 is presented.
The following is a guide for identifying the levels and classes in Bolivia's different educational systems:
