Recommended change:
FRs should ALWAYS probe for “type of school” when a respondent reports an ordinal number.
This will ensure that “third” is not recorded as “third grade” when it potentially could be “third
th
grade of secundaria” (9
grade) or “third grade of preparatoria” (senior year in high school). If
the respondent went to school outside the United States, FRs should be trained to probe for the
corresponding level in the US.
