Interviewer instructions
The questions in Column (19) through (22) are concerned with current (school year 2009) and recent (school year 2008) school attendance. They should be asked of all persons age 5-24 years who ever attended school.

The term “attending school” refers to whether the person generally attends school; it does not measure how often a person actually goes to school but whether the person attends school at all. If a person goes to school occasionally, or usually goes to school but has been absent from school recently, record YES. Record 'NO' only if the person did not attend at all in the current school year.

If the person was in school during the current school year, record the level and year the person is/was attending in Column 20 (using the codes at the bottom of the page).

For people age 5-24 who have ever been to school, you will also ask the question in Column (21) about whether the person attended school during the previous school year. If the person went to school at all during the previous school year, circle '1' in Column (21) even if the person did not attend school for the entire school year. Record the level and year the person attended during the previous school year in Column (22).
