Interviewer instructions
Use the LFS concept on highest grade completed. Like in Q7, the highest grade completed refers to that at the time of the person's last departure. The codes are seen below.
00 No Grade Completed
01 Elementary Undergraduate
02 Elementary Graduate
03 High School Undergraduate
04 High School Graduate
05 College Undergraduate
For an OF who has completed a college or higher degree at the time of his departure, specify in words the degree which he has obtained as for example B.S. Agriculture, B.S. Statistics, B.S. Mechanical Engineering, A.B. Economics (Bachelor of Arts in Economics), MDE (Master in Development Economics), among others. Take note that 2-year courses are classified as college undergraduates and must have the code “05” in Q8.
NOTE:
The entries for the marital status and highest grade completed may not be consistent with the entries in ISH Form 2 since these refer to the status of the person at the time of departure. Note that the entry in the highest grade completed in LFS should be equal or higher than that reported in SOF.
