Literal question
During the previous school year, that is (2008-2009), did (name) attend school or preschool at any time?
Interviewer instructions
For each household member 5-24 years of age (this includes those age 5 and age 24), ask questions ED5-ED8, which inquire about school attendance. While the ideal respondent for these questions would be the mother or primary caretaker, any adult member of the household may provide the information. Since questions from ED5 to ED8 refer to school attendance, they will have to be adapted to the situation at the time of the interview. All questions should be retained. However, the wording and coding will have to be changed. The objective of these questions is to capture the school attendance of household members in two consecutive school years. In the explanations below, information is provided on how this can be tackled. Questions ED5 and ED6 collect information on the school attendance of household members age 5-24 during the current school year (if the interview is conducted when schools are open) or the last school year that has ended (if the interview is conducted between school years). Questions ED7 and ED8 collect information on the school attendance of household members age 5-24 during the previous school year. Survey Coordinators: If the interview is carried out before the start of the 2010-2011 school year, then ED5-ED6 should refer to the 2009-2010 school year, and ED7-ED8 should refer to the school year 2008-2009. If the interview is carried out after the start of the 2010-2011 school year, then ED5-ED6 should refer to the 2010-2011 school year, and ED7-ED8 should refer to the school year 2009-2010. If the child attended school at any time during the last school year, circle '1'. If the answer is 'No' or 'DK', circle the appropriate code and go to the household member on the next line.
