Question No. 10: Do you currently attend school?

School attendance refers to both schools of regular education (official or private), as well as schools of vocational character that are not incorporated in the regular system of education (schools of 1, 2, or 3 years that teach dressmaking, beauty, mechanics, electricity, etc.). Also consider school attendance as any "pre-school" or "children center" and attendance at schools for persons with mental or physical deficiencies attendance in specialized courses that last six (6) months or more and attendance at courses for illiterates.
