I would like to start with some general questions. Can you please tell me in which year you were born?
1. This question is crucial for the routing. Don't knows or refusals are to be minimised. Please probe for an answer.
2. If the year of birth is out of range (lower than 1947 or higher than 2007), please check the eligibility of the respondent. If the
respondent is not eligible, you should break off the interview and set disposition code to <25> in the DISP_BQ screen.

Looking at this card, what is the highest level of education you have completed?
1. This question is crucial for the study. Don't knows or refusals are to be minimized. Please probe for an answer, even if the respondent
is unsure about the exact level of education.
2. If the respondent is currently enrolled in an educational program, emphasize that the question refers to education that has been
completed, and that current education will be addressed in a later question.
3. Only FULLY completed levels of education for which all requirements were met or a diploma was obtained should be reported.
4. In case of foreign education, choose the national level of education that corresponds most closely with this foreign level of education.
