Data Appraisal

Other forms of Data Appraisal

To determine the literacy status, two methods were used: self reporting (one's ability to read and write) and actual testing (assessment of literacy status) of respondents. Unlike the previous surveys that relied on self-confessions, tests were administered to examine the respondents' levels in literacy and numeric. Those respondents who had education up to the senior secondary school level were, however, exempted from the test.
