Interviewer instructions

Literacy

Column No. 11 - Do you know how to read and write? If a person knows how to read and write a simple paragraph, yes should be written down in this column. In the contrary case no should be written down.

When a person knows how to read but not write or the opposite, and in the case of one who writes only numbers or barely draws their name, no should be written down. One should proceed equally in cases of persons who forgot how to read and write.

This column cannot remain without information and therefore special care is recommended to the enumerator in the registering of this information.
