IF POST SECONDARY OR COLLEGE GRADUATE, SPECIFY THE COURSE ON THE SPACE PROVIDED.
PLEASE SEE CODES ON PAGE 2D.
PLEASE SEE CODES ON PAGE 2D.
Ask the question in Column P11: “What is the highest grade/year completed by ______?” for all persons five years old and over.
Write the grade/year and level of schooling completed on the space provided and the appropriate codes in the boxes. The codes for highest grade/year completed can be found on the last page of every CP Form 2 for your reference. For graduates of post secondary course or college degree, write on the space provided the specific course or degree obtained. This will be coded during manual processing at the Provincial Office.
If the answer given by the respondent is in terms of the level of schooling only (e.g., elementary, high school, college) and not the specific grade or year completed, determine the specific grade or year by asking the respondent additional questions. The answer “Elementary” or “High School” is insufficient.
Note that for an elementary graduate, meaning he/she finished Grade 6 or Grade 7, as the case may be, the code should be 28. For a high school graduate, meaning he/she finished 4th Year High School, the code should be 35.
Report also in Column P11 the post secondary course that a person has completed.
Post secondary course refers to the stage of formal education following the secondary education level covering nondegree programs that have varying duration lasting up to three years, concerned primarily with developing strong and appropriately trained middle level manpower.
Post secondary 1st year is the highest grade completed by a person who has taken a post secondary course for at least a year but has not yet completed the course at the time of POPCEN 2007. Consider, for example, a person who at the time of the census is a 2nd year student of a 2-year course in Automotive Technology. Since he/she has finished his/her 1st year in Automotive Technology, he/she is considered under this category and the
correct code is 41.
Post secondary 2nd year is the highest grade completed by a person who has taken post secondary course for at least two years but has not yet completed the course at the time of POPCEN 2007. The appropriate code for this is 42.
Post secondary 3rd year is the highest grade completed by a person who has taken post secondary course for at least three years but has not yet completed the course at the time of POPCEN 2007. The appropriate code for this is 43.
In order to determine whether the vocational/technical course reported by the respondent is under a post secondary education (formal education), the following probing questions should be asked:
1. Is the course offered/taken in school, college/university, or Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA)? If in TESDA, the course is nonformal and therefore, will not be considered as post secondary education.
If in school, college/university, the following question should be asked:
2. Is completion of a high school course a requirement for admission? If yes, the course is considered formal, hence, post secondary.
If the person has successfully completed his/her post secondary education, specify its title and corresponding duration on the space provided. This will be coded during manual processing at the Provincial Office.
Take note of the following cases:
1. If a person finished a post-secondary course and is currently a 1st year college student, his/her post-secondary course should be reported.
2. If a person is currently enrolled in a (6-month or 1-year) post secondary course but has not finished the course he/she should be reported as a high school graduate.
3. If a person is currently in 1st year college or post secondary, do not assume that he/she is only a high school graduate. Verify if he/she has taken/completed other courses (degree or nondegree courses).
If the person is a college undergraduate, i.e., he/she has not earned a degree, enter the code of the year he/ she completed - 81 for 1st year college, 84 for 4th year college, and others. Note that code 86 stands for 6th or higher year in college.
Usually, it is difficult to differentiate certificate and diploma courses that are under post secondary education from post-graduate courses. In order to determine whether the course reported by the respondent is a post secondary or a post-graduate course, the following question should be asked:
Is a baccalaureate or a college degree a requirement for admission to certificate or diploma course? If yes, the course is considered under post-graduate course. Otherwise, it is classified as post secondary course.
The acquisition of a college degree implies the successful completion of a course study. Information on degree received should be collected only for persons who have completed a course study at the third level of education. Such information should include the title of the highest degree received, and an indication of the field of study if the title does not make it clear.
For a college graduate, write on the space provided the specific Bachelor's degree obtained. This will also be coded during manual processing at the Provincial Office.
For those who have pursued and completed two or more degrees of the same level and duration, say, nursing and medical technology (both are 4-year courses), report only one degree or whichever degree the person preferred to be reported.
Post-baccalaureate refers to any course for which an undergraduate degree is required. Masters and doctoral degree students and graduates both fall under this category. In instances where law or medical students have usually earned a degree in BS Political Science, BS Zoology, BS Medical Technology, and others, but are still in law or medical school, the appropriate code for this educational level is 90. The same rule applies to students who are still working for their master's degree, taking doctorate studies and for a person who has completed masters or doctoral degree. For both cases, enter 90.
If an unusually high “highest grade/year completed” is reported in relation to the age of the person, verify the report from the respondent. For example: 3rd year high school for a boy who is 11 years old, or college graduate for a person who is 15 years old.
