Interviewer instructions
Education level refers to the highest level successfully completed. For example, if a person has failed in his B. A. examination, then his level will be treated only as 'higher secondary'. The Education level of each member is to be ascertained carefully before making entry here. A person is considered literate if he/she can
read and write a simple message in any language with understanding. It will be essential to probe in detail whenever it is felt that the educational achievement of the person is not sufficient to accept the response, particularly if the person has not completed primary level of school education.
The codes to be given for various levels are as follows :
Not literate ......................................01
Literate without any schooling: ..............02
Literate without formal schooling:
through NFEC/ AIEP ..........................03
through TLC/AEC ...............................04
others ............................................05
Literate with formal schooling including EGS:
below primary ....................................06
primary ............................................07
middle .............................................08
secondary ........................................10
higher secondary ................................11
diploma /certificate course .....................12
graduate ..........................................13
post graduate and above .......................14
A person, who can both read and write a simple message with understanding in at least one language is to be considered literate. Those who are not able to do so, are to be considered not literate and would be assigned code 01. Those who acquired this skill without attending any type of schooling would be assigned
code 02. Some persons achieve literacy by attending Non-formal Education Courses (NFEC) or Alternative Innovative Education Programme (AIEP). Such persons will be given code 03. Persons, who have become literate through attending Total Literacy Campaign (TLC) or Adult Education Centres (AEC) are to be given code 04. Persons, who are literate through means other than formal schooling and not under above two categories, would be given code 05. Those, who are by definition literate through formal schooling including primary schools created under Education Guarantee Scheme (EGS) but who are yet to pass primary standard examination, would be assigned code 06. Similarly codes 07, 08, and 10 to 14 should be assigned to those who have passed the appropriate levels. The criteria for deciding primary, middle, secondary, etc.
levels will be that followed in the concerned states/union territories. Persons who have attained proficiency in Oriental languages (e.g., Sanskrit, Persian, etc.) through formal but not through the general type of education will be classified appropriately at the equivalent level of general education standard. For them who have completed some diploma or certificate course in general or technical education, which is equivalent to below graduation level, code 12 will be assigned. Whereas, code 13 will be recorded for them who have
obtained degree or diploma or certificate in general or technical education, which is equivalent to graduation level. Similarly, code 14 will be assigned for them who have obtained degree or diploma or certificate in general or technical education, which is equivalent to post-graduation level and above.
