Interviewer instructions
To be recorded as completing a grade, the person must have actually finished the level in question. A person may have attended a class level, but not completed it. For all persons attending school this year the highest level completed should be one year lower than the highest level reached. And for persons not attending school this year the highest level completed may be the same as the highest level reached or one level below it, but not greater.
Examples:
- Someone who attended Standard 6 but never finished that class would be recorded as having completed Standard 5. Someone currently attending Form 3 would be recorded as having completed Form 2. Note that nursery/pre-school is given code 0. This is to allow Standard 1 to be coded as 1, Standard 2 as 2, etc.
A zero (0) code is used to indicate two situations: - a person whose highest grade is below standard 1 or
someone who is attending Nursery.
• For code 0 to 19 - preschool, primary, secondary and university - skip to C06.
• Older individuals may have attended school when the Kenyan educational system was different from what it is now. Indicate also the year when each household member completed the highest grade.
