Questions and instructions
Literal question
What is the highest level of school (name) attended?
Interviewer instructions
Ensure that the respondent understands what is meant by 'Non-standard curriculum'. Non-standard curriculum includes religious schools, such as Buddism schools, which do not teach a full standard school curriculum.

'Preschool' is listed for children who do not attend grade 1 at age 5, but do attend some form of organized learning or early childhood education programme, whether or not such a programme is considered a part of the school system. The definition of organized early learning programme does not refer to programmes offering only baby-sitting or child-minding.

If the person has been to school, record the highest level for school attended by circling the code for the response. You may need to probe for the type of school attended. Circle '8' for 'Don't know'.
