Questions and instructions

Interviewer instructions

An ever-enrolled student currently not pursuing the education may be due to either: (i) he/ she has
discontinued after completing the last level of education for which he/ she was enrolled or (ii) he/ she has discontinued education before attaining a specific level. For the first category, for example, if a person has completed the middle level but does not enroll for the next higher level of education, he/ she is not considered as a dropout. It is considered as a case of discontinuation. However, if the person enrolls for the secondary level but does not complete it, then he/ she is considered a dropout. For this survey, dropouts and
discontinuance will be treated alike
