Interviewer instructions
If the child is 3 or 4 years old, check the box marked 'Yes' and continue on to BR6. If not (if the child is 0, 1 or 2 years old), check the box marked 'No' and skip to BR8. --- This question aims to find out if the child is participating in early learning activities. Baby-sitting or child-minding, even if done in a special place such as a day-care centre, does not qualify as such a programme unless it includes organized learning activities. You must ensure that the mother or primary caretaker understands the meaning of 'Early Childhood Education Programme', explaining it as instructed. Circle the appropriate code. Skip to BR8 if the answer to this question is 'No' or 'DK'.
