Interviewer instructions

Educational Characteristics

Ask these questions only to persons seven years old or older.

When filling about these lines it is convenient to consult the age (line 4), so that compatibility exists in the responses.

For Census purposes, "regular education" will be understood to be that which persons receive in primary school, secondary schools, and universities.

[p. 48]

Normal schools are considered university level.

Line No. 13.- Do you know how to read and write?

This question is included with the purpose of knowing the literacy and should be asked only for persons 7 years old or older.

Mark the box "Yes" when a person can read and write a simple paragraph in any language. The box "No" should be marked for four groups of persons, namely:

1) Those who do not know how to read or write a simple paragraph

2) Those who only know how to read.

3) Those who only know how to sign and/or write their name, and

4) Those who at one time knew how to read and write, put have forgotten it.

In the case of persons who currently are taking classes in the second grade of primary education or any other higher grade, it is not necessary to ask the question; mark the box "Yes" automatically.
