Interviewer instructions
7.4. LFQ educational status questions 15-18
Note: these questions should be asked only to persons aged 6 years and above. Check the age of the persons as reported in question 4. If they are less than 6 years old, then you are finished asking questions about that person. Go to the next person listed in the questionnaire.
Asking questions only for persons of certain ages or only of females is called a "skip pattern". Skip patterns are used to avoid asking questions of persons that don't make sense. For example, asking if a 1-year-old baby attends school.




Q15 "Can [the respondent] read and write, with understanding, a simple sentence in any language?" Continuing with the first person listed "Person 01" if they are 6 years old or over, ask question 15 as written on the questionnaire.

Shade the number of the answer given: 1 for "Yes", and 2 for "No"
