Description
Text
Current school attendance means attending a regular educational institution, public or private, for systematic instruction at any level of education. The term "currently" refers to School Year 2008-2009 for elementary and secondary education and the first semester of the current school year for post secondary, college or higher.
A student who was enrolled in the current school year but has dropped out of school is considered not currently attending school.
Please also note that schooling at home and attendance at other non-regular educational institutions such as music and sport schools are not considered school attendance in the present context. Pre-primary schooling if part of the regular educational system is however considered as schooling.
During school vacation, particularly in April round, a person is considered currently attending school if he/she has attended and completed school in the previous school year. For college students on semestral/term break, they are considered currently attending school if they have attended and completed the previous semester.
