FOREWORD
Statistical data that reflect the socio-economic and demographic conditions of the residents
of a country are useful for designing and preparation of development plans as well as for
monitoring and evaluation of the impacts of the implementation of the development plans.
These statistical data include population size, age, sex, literacy and education, marital
status, housing stocks and conditions …etc. In order to fill the gap for these socio-economic
and demographic data need, Ethiopia has conducted its third Population and Housing
Census in May and November 2007.

The 2007 Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia was conducted under the auspices of
the Population Census Commission that was established by a proclamation No. 449/1997.
The Commission is chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister and the members of the
commission were drawn from various relevant Ministries, Regional States representatives,
House of Federation, National Electoral Board and the Central Statistical Agency, serving
as the Office of the Census Commission (Secretariat). According to this proclamation, the
processing, evaluation and analyses of the data collected in this census as well as its
dissemination are the major responsibilities of this office. Thus, the Office of the Population
Census Commission is pleased to present the census report entitled “The 2007 Population
and Housing Census of Ethiopia: Statistical Report for Tigray Region” for the users.
Subsequently, another report which deals with detailed analysis of the result of the 2007
Population and Housing Census data is in the process of being prepared and will also be
prepared and printed soon.

Before the conduct of a census enumeration, numbers of preparatory activities were also
carried-out. Among the major census preparatory activities the conduct of the Population
and Housing Census Cartographic Work was one of the important tasks to be undertaken.
During this census cartographic work, urban and rural kebeles were sub-divided into
enumeration areas, each having 150-200 housing units and households, respectively.
About 4-6 contiguous enumeration areas were made to form one supervision area. In this
exercise for each enumeration area and supervision area maps have been prepared.

During the census enumeration, each enumerator was given a map of an enumeration area
along with other census documents and he/she was responsible to record all persons and
households in that enumeration area without omission and duplication. One supervisor was
also assigned to a supervision area and was responsible for ensuring the quality of the

also assigned to a supervision area and was responsible for ensuring the quality of the

i
information collected in the area of his/her jurisdiction. Unlike the previous censuses, in this
census enumerators were primary school teachers while supervisors were secondary
school teachers.

It is to be noted that the Population and Housing Census is a huge nation wide operation
which could not be undertaken by a single organization. Thus, full cooperation and
assistance of government and non-government organizations, donor agencies and the
general public have been obtained for the 2007 Population and Housing Census.

The office of the Population Census Commission is therefore, very grateful to the
Government of Ethiopia for its huge financial and administrative supports. The office is also
grateful to the development partners particularly; the United Nations Fund for Population
Activities (UNFPA) and the Department for International Development (DFID) for their
generous financial, logistics and technical supports. Thanks are also due to the United
Nations Development Program (UNDP), the Embassy of Japan, the Italian Cooperation, the
United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), as well as the Dutch and Irish
Governments for their substantial financial supports.

Finally, the office would like to express its appreciation for the elementary and secondary
school teachers who participated in the data collection and supervision activities; the staff
members of the Central Statistical Agency for their invaluable contributions throughout the
census operations and also more importantly, the general public as well as the
administrators at all levels, who were critical to the success of the census enumeration.

The office hopes that the data contained in this Statistical Report will be utilized by all data
users for various development planning.

 CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

This chapter presents an over view of the contents of the census report entitled “The 2007
Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia: Statistical Report for Tigray Region”. The report
presents the major statistical data that are essential to policy makers, planners, administrators,
researchers and other data users in a table format.

In Tigray region the census has covered the then existing total of 692 rural and urban Kebeles
which were sub-divided into 5619 enumeration areas. The May 2007 Population and Housing
Census was the third Population and Housing Census. The first Population and Housing
Census was conducted in May 1984 whereas the second Population and Housing Census of
Ethiopia was conducted in October, 1994. In this third Census, twenty eight of May, 2007 was
used as the census day or census reference day. The census has counted people on dejure
and defacto basis. The dejure population comprises all the persons who belong to a given area
at a given time by virtue of usual residence, while under defacto approach people were counted
as the residents of the place where they found (Shryock et al., 1976). In the census, a person is
said to be a usual resident of a household ( and hence an area ) if he/ she has been residing in
the household continuously for at least six months before the census day or intends to reside in
the household for six months or longer. Thus, visitors are not included with the usual (dejure)
population. Homeless persons were enumerated in the place where they spent the night on the
enumeration day. The 2007 census counted foreign nationals who were residing in the region.
On the other hand all Ethiopians living abroad were not counted.
In this census the questionnaires that were used to collect information were generally prepared
in Amharic. However, English translation of the short questionnaires was used to collect data
from the foreigners residing in Tigray Region.
In the census two types of questionnaires were used:

i) Short Questionnaire (Appendix II) and

ii) Long Questionnaire (Appendix III)

Unlike the previous censuses, the contents of the short and long questionnaires were similar
both for the urban and rural areas as well as for all regions. But the short and the long
questionnaires differ by the number of variables they contained. That is, the short questionnaire

1
was used to collect basic data on population characteristics such as population size, sex, age,
language, ethnic group, religion, orphan hood and disability. Where as a the long questionnaire
includes information on marital status, education, economic activity, migration, fertility, mortality,
as well as housing stocks and conditions in addition to those questions contained in a short
questionnaire.

The questionnaires were filled-in by enumerators who went from one household to the next. All
members of the household were recorded on the same questionnaire if their number is eight or
less and on consecutive questionnaires if their members are more than eight. The type of
questionnaire administered to each household depends on whether a household was selected
for a long questionnaire or not. The selection procedure was determined by using a systematic
sampling procedure as follows. During the three days before the census day all households
and housing units were listed in a separate form designed for the purpose. Then, this list was
used to identify the type of questionnaire that was to be administered to the households. One
out of five households was systematically selected from the list /following scientific procedures/
to be interviewed using the long questionnaire, while the other remaining four were interviewed
using the short questionnaire. Residents of hotels, hostels and other collective quarters were
being interviewed using a long questionnaire whereas homeless persons were counted using a
short questionnaire.

Accordingly, information presented in this report that refer to population size, sex, age
composition, language, ethnic group, religion, disability and orphan hood status of children
under 18 years were collected from all persons covered in the census. However, some other
information presented in this report was collected from a sample of the population. Even
though information on the long questionnaire was collected from a sample of the population,
statistical weights were applied to make them represent the entire population. This means that
the numbers presented in the tables that refer to education, economic activity, fertility, mortality
…etc were made to represent the entire population of Tigray Region covered in the census and
not only the sampled population.

The fact that the information was collected from a sample of households and not from the entire
households does not make the information less reliable. In fact this process is expected to
increase the quality of the information collected by reducing the work load that would have been
faced if all households were covered using the long questionnaires. In turn, the reduction of the

2
work load improves the quality of the data through facilitating a closer supervision during field
work and enabling the timely processing of the data collected.

This report has one part and contains eight chapters. The first chapter serves as an
introduction to the report. Chapter II presents the basic population characteristics such as
population size, type of residence, relation to head of household, sex and age. Chapter III
presents other population characteristics such as religion, mother tongue, ethnic group and
marital status. Chapter IV contains statistical data on disability and orphan hood. Chapter V
presents literacy status, school attendance and educational attainment. Chapter VI presents
economic activity that deals with current and usual economic activity as well as employment and
unemployment statuses. Chapter VII contains data on population dynamics dealing with fertility,
mortality and migration. Chapter VIII presents information on Housing conditions and
characteristics. Each chapter has a brief description concerning the type of questions asked
and the corresponding answer categories, instructions followed by the enumerator while
interviewing, basic definitions of concepts, etc. Population of urban and rural kebeles by sex
with number of households and housing units and copies of an English version – short and long
questionnaire are presented as appendices II and III at the end of this report.

It worth mentioning that because of the use of weights, slight discrepancies between various
tables may sometimes be observed for some of the data collected by long questionnaire. Apart
form this, tables that deal with education, economic activity and housing exclude the number of
homeless population. Since the homeless population is very small as compared to the total
population of a region, the discrepancies are very small. Homeless persons were enumerated
using only the short questionnaire because the enumeration took place at night at the place
where they were sleeping, and it was not convenient to apply long questionnaires in such
situation.

General Information
The following points are worth mentioning regarding the contents of this statistical report, the
supply of the compiled statistical data in print and digital copies and also concerning access to
raw data:
a) The majority of the tables containing statistical data on population characteristics,
education, economic activity, fertility, mortality, migration and housing stock and

3
 conditions were aggregated at region and zone levels and only very few tables are
produced at wereda level. The data will be provided in print and digital forms.
b) More detailed information up to wereda and town levels will be provided in digital
form on CDs.
c) Apart from these, raw data as well as further detailed cross tabulations can be
obtained from the Census Commission office up on the user’s request.

 CHAPTER-II

BASIC POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS

This chapter presents population size by type of residence, relationship to head of the
household and age classified by sex. Detailed information on the characteristics of the
population is also presented for the regions. Theses include type of residence, number of
housing unit, household size, relationship to the head of the household, headship rate,
population by zones, weredas, towns, urban and rural residence, conventional and non-
conventional households, single year and population by five years age group, etc.

The type of residence is one of the questions included in the census questionnaire.
Type of residence is categorized into two major groups, namely, conventional and non-
conventional. Please note that, in Tables 2.5 the population size of pastoralists are added to
conventional households, in addition to that, Tables 2.6 and 2.7 also include the population size
of pastoralists. Respondents who live in the same housing unit and have common cooking
arrangements (eat their food together) are said to be residing in conventional households. The
non-conventional population in turn is sub-divided into residents of collective quarters
(hotel/hostel and other collective quarters) and homeless. A collective quarter is a housing unit,
a building, or a compound in which a number of unrelated persons reside together and share
common facilities e.g. boarding schools, prisons, hotels, hostels, etc. Homeless persons refer
to individuals without any fixed residence. Pastoralists are people who are wandering from
place to palace in search of grass and water for their animals. Almost the same question was
included in the 1994 census but the response categories were conventional, hotel/hostel, other
collective quarters, nomads and homeless.

The 2007 census has also collected information on members of the household and their
relationship to the head. The question asked was “NAME” what is your relationship to the head
of the household?” the categories for this question are head, spouse, child of head and/or
spouse, parent of head/spouse, sibling of head/spouse, niece/nephew of head or spouse,
grandchild of head or spouse, other relatives of head or spouse and non-relatives. This
question was also included in the 1994 census but there was very much little difference in the
categories. The head of the household is any member of the household who is recognized as a

5
head by the members. In a polygamous marriage where each of the wives has their own
separated households the husband is considered to be the head or member of the household
of the first wife. The other wives or other members (e.g. elder son) are considered to be the
head of their respective households.

The information on age is collected from every individual counted in the census. The
question was presented as “what is NAME’s age?” for an infant less than one year of age the
enumerator was instructed to shade “00”. On the other hand, for a person whose age was 97
years and more all enumerators were trained to record as 97. Age information is recorded in
completed years. For instance, a person whose age was 37 years 11 months and 29 days on
the census date the enumerator will record it as 37. For those people who did not know their
exact age the enumerators have been trained how to probe with the help of historical events in
the enumerators manual, which has been collected from the 9 regional states and two city
administrations. Apart from this other method that would be used by the enumerators to get an
exact age or to make a reasonable estimate of the respondents age are included in the
manual. This question was also available in the 1994 census in the same way as in 2007
census.

 Chapter III

Ethnic Group, Mother Tongue, Religion and Marital Status

In the 2007 Census, “Ethnic identity” of respondents was obtained through the
question “What is (NAME’S) ethnic group?” Ethnic group (nation/nationality) of a
person is traced through his/her national or tribal origin. A detailed list of ethnic
groups in the country was obtained from the House of Federation. Codes for the
ethnic groups were entered from these lists, which were attached in the
enumerator’s manual.

“Mother Tongue” of respondents was identified by asking the question “What is

(NAME’S) mother tongue?” Mother tongue is the language used by the
respondent for communication with his/her family members or guardians during
his/her childhood. Detailed lists of the names & codes of the country’s languages
were provided to the enumerators in their instruction manuals. Similar types of
questions were used for both the 1994 & 2007 census, except that during the
1994 census question about the most frequently used additional language of
respondents was asked in addition to mother tongue & ethnic group.

The question on “Religion” was asked to all persons as “What is (NAME’S)

religion?” The possible answers were categorized under the following six groups:
Orthodox, Protestant, Catholic, Muslim/Islam, Traditional & Other. Orthodox
Christianity includes the “Tewahido”, “Kibat”, & “Tsega”, while Seven Day
Adventist, Pentecost, Lutheran, Baptist, Anglican, Presbyterian, “Meserete
Kirstos”, “Mulu Wengel”, “Kale Hiywot”, etc. were put under the Protestant
category. Jehovah’s, Behais, Jews, Hindus, etc. fall under the other category.
Those respondents who answered simply “Christian” as their religion were further
asked to identify themselves either as Orthodox, Protestant or Catholic Christian.
For the new born children, the religion of their parents was taken, but for those
children born from parents that follow different religions, the parents had been

60
asked to decide which religion the child may follow in the future. Similar type of
question was asked in the 1994 Census.

“Marital status” of respondents aged ten years & older was identified through the
question “What is (NAME’S) current marital status?” The responses fell under six
major categories: Never Married, Currently Married, Divorced, Separated,
Widow/Widower, & Living Together as Husband & Spouse. Never married refers
to all persons who were single & had not been married earlier; currently married
include those bounded by any kind of marital engagement at the time of
enumeration (traditional, church, or municipality); separated couples were also
considered to be married unless they have dissolved their marriage agreement.
Persons who had been married but whose marriage was dissolved before the
census day were put under divorced. Those who responded they had not been
married after the deaths of their spouses were categorized as widowed/widower.
Those who had been living together as wife & husband (through consensual
union), without any formal binding relations (traditional, church, or municipality)
were fall on living together. Two additional categories (“separated” & “living
together”) were added in the 2007 census, compared to the 1994, which had only
four categories of marital status: never married, currently married, divorced &
widower.

Tables 3.1 to 3.5 show the results of the 2007 Census on Ethnic Group, Mother
Tongue, Religion and Marital Status.

 CHAPER IV
DISABILITY AND ORPHANHOOD

This chapter presents data on Disability and Orphanhood statuses of the population.
Both disability and orphanhood data were collected for every member of the
household in the 2007 Population and Housing Census. Three questions on disability
status were included in the census questionnaire to measure the status, type and
cause of disability. Similarly, two questions on orphanhood status were included in the
census questionnaire to measure the type and status of orphanhood.

4.1 Disability Status

A person who was unable to carry out or limited in carrying out activities that others
can do due to congenital or long term physical/mental disabilities was identified as a
disabled person. Short term difficulties due to temporary conditions were excluded. In
general, a person was defined as disabled if due to physical or mental injuries could
not fully perform activities that other healthy person could do. Based on this UN
definition, recommendations and the previous experiences, the following three basic
questions were administered in the 2007 Population and Housing Census. These are:-
i) Does (NAME) have a problem of seeing, hearing, speaking and/or
standing/walking/seating, body parts movement, functioning of hands/ legs or
mental retardation or mental problem or other mental/physical damages?
ii) If yes, what is (NAME’s) type of disability or problem? and
iii) What was the cause of (NAME’s) disability?

The above questions on disability were developed in collaboration with the experts
from the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, Confederation of the Disabled and
Addis Ababa University.

4.1.1 Type of Disability

The question on type of disability was asked based on the following basic definitions:
 Blind: - Persons who totally lost their vision.

103
 Seeing difficulty: - persons with two eyes and with partial seeing ability
were considered in this category. Persons with seeing difficulty are those
who can’t count fingers of hands at a distance of two meters or those who
can’t identify the individual standing four meters away from them. Persons
who lost one of their eyes and became unable to fully see due to the
problem in one eye affecting the other were considered as persons with
seeing difficulty. Moreover, persons who were unable to do their work
without the help of others because of weakness in seeing were considered
as persons who have seeing difficulty. A person after wearing a pair of
spectacles gets back his sight was not included under this category.

 Deaf: - Persons who were not able to hear from both ears but can speak
were grouped under this category.

 Hearing difficulty: - Persons who totally lost hearing in one ear and
partially hear by one or those who were able to hear partially by both ears
were considered as persons with hearing difficulty.

 Dumb: - Persons who were not able to speak at all but can hear were
considered as dumb.

 Speaking difficulty: - Persons who were not able to speak as a healthy

person could speak or persons whose speech couldn’t be understood
clearly to others were considered as having speaking difficulties.

 Deaf mute: - Persons who were not able to speak and hear at all were
categorized as deaf mute.

 Disability in Hands: - (Non functional upper limbs) Loss of one hand or

both hands, paralysis of one hand or both hands or any other disability in
one hand or both hands were taken as disability in hands.
Persons who were unable to use one hand or both hands to hold or pick up
anything, in attending their day-to-day work were considered as paralyzed in
hand/hands. Persons having any other type of disability in one hand or both

104
 hands not related to above types were considered as having other disability
in hand/hands.

 Disability in Legs: - (Non functional lower limbs) Loss of one leg or both
legs, paralysis of one leg or both legs, or any other disability in one leg or
both legs were taken as disability in legs. Persons having completely
lifeless or inactive leg/legs were considered as paralyzed in leg/legs.

 Physical Organs Movement Difficulty: - Any other specific physical organ

movement difficulties (such as difficulties in seating, keeping balance, sever
shaking, coordinated organs’ movement, … etc) other than the disabilities of
seeing, hearing/speaking, disabilities in hands or disabilities in legs were
taken as physical organ movement difficulty.

 Mental retardation: - in our census mentally retarded persons were taken

as mentally disabled persons having difficulties in learning. A person whose
social interaction is below expected and backward having low capacity of
understanding, training with difficulties in helping themselves in attending
their day to day activities or learning due to undeveloped brain was
considered as mentally retarded.

 Mental Problem: - Persons with mental illness due to unknown causes

were not considered as disabled as long as they are treated and healed. It
must be understood that there is a difference between mental problem and
mental retardation and caution should be taken not to consider mental
retardation and epilepsy as mental problem.

 Other: - Persons identified as disabled and not classified in any of the

above mentioned categories were considered in this group.

The 2007 Population and Housing Census excludes the following persons from being
classified as disabled for they are being capable of performing activities that other
healthy persons could do. Persons with one eye or one ear as long as the person is

105
able to fully perform activities in the manner or within the range considered normal for
a human being, even if his/her other eye or ear is blind or defective, he or she is not
considered as disabled person. Unlike in the 1994 Census Leprosy, Epilepsy, and
Mental problem (except mental retardation) were not considered as disability.
However, they could be causes of disabilities.

4.1.2 Cause of Disability

The cause of disability is categorized in one of the following stated groups:

 Vehicle Accident: - accidents caused by car, train, rail way, bicycle, Motor
Cycle, horse pulled wheeled vehicle …etc.

 Other accidents: - accidents caused due to falling, accidents caused by cattle,

falling from animals back or stroke, accidents caused on job, accidents due to
electric shocks, accidents caused by fire arms, bullet, bomb, sharp objects,
piercing objects, hand grenades …etc out of the battle field, accidents caused
by hammering bomb or explosive, accidents caused by explosives of mining or
quarrying, accidents caused due to accidentally fired bullet and other related
accidents.

 Polio: - virus causing disability of body paralysis.

 Leprosy: - chronic infectious disease caused by micro- bacterium leprae

primarily affecting nerves and causes disability if not treated early.

 Other diseases (post natal -after delivery):- cause of disability other than
polio and leprosy which occurs due to small pox, measles, meningitis, diabetes
mellitus, hyper tension, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)/Venereal disease
…etc.

 Intra-uterine (in the uterus) Prenatal and during Delivery: - disability caused
before birth and during delivery.

106
  War/mines:- disability caused in the battle field by fire arms, bullet, explosives,
mines, bombs piercing objects, and sharp objects...etc and disabilities caused
by exploding mines be it in the battle field or not.

 Others: - disabilities caused different from the above described causes are
considered in this category (e.g.:- disabilities caused due to un-prescribed
medicine).

 Unknown case: - if the cause is not known or could not be described by the
respondent (e.g.:-mental Problem).

It is to be noted that in the 2007 population and housing census disability data were
collected for every member of all the households (complete count) where as in the
1994 population and housing census information on disability were collected for every
member from every fifth households using long questionnaire on sample basis. Hence,
it is important to note this difference when comparing the results of the 2007 census
disability data with that of the 1994 census results.

4.2 Orphanhood Status
Orphanhood can be defined as the condition of being a child without living biological
parents or a child deprived by death of one or usually both of his/her biological
parents. Information on Orphanhood status of children under age 18 (survival status of
the parents) was collected on complete count basis for every household member. The
data on the survival status of parents for children less than 18 years are summarized
as Only Mothers alive, Only Fathers alive, Both deceased (Double orphaned) and Both
alive (Non-orphaned) categories.

The continuous increase in social problem due to orphanhood in Ethiopia and the lists
of topics suggested in the Principles and Recommendations for Population and
Housing Census has brought an idea of collecting information on orphanhood in the
2007 Population and Housing Census. Having this in mind, two basic questions on
orphanhood status were administered in the 2007 Population and Housing Census.
These are:
i. “Is NAME’s biological mother alive?” and
ii. “Is NAME’s biological father alive?”
Using the answers for these two questions, children have been classified as orphaned
or non-orphaned. Based on these, children less than 18 years are said to be orphaned
if they have lost one or both of their parent(s) by death.

N.B: - It is important to note that orphanhood status of children is considered only in

relation to their biological parents, but not attached to other kinship relations or other
situations.

 CHAPTER V

EDUCATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS

This chapter presents data on educational characteristics of the population of the

Region. The data was collected from members of the sampled household. Three
questions on education were included in the census questionnaire to measure literacy
status, school attendance and educational attainment. The information was collected
from members of sampled households where long questionnaires were administered.
However, the information has been weighted and all the figures in this chapter refer to
the entire population of the Region.

Every person aged five years and over in a sampled household was asked to report
his/her literacy status. The two possible alternative answers given were literate and
illiterate. In the census, a person is considered as literate if he/she can read and write a
simple sentence in any language; other wise he/she is categorized as illiterate. This
chapter presents data on literacy status of the population aged five years and over for
this Region.

Every person aged five years and over in the sampled household was also asked to
report his/her educational status. The three alternative answers given were (1) attending
school during the census day, (2) attended school in the past but left before the census
day and (3) never attended.

Those who were attending school during the census day were further asked to indicate
the grade in which they were attending. All grades were given codes exhaustively but
for the purpose of Presentation and analysis, these grades are regrouped into five
categories (levels) as follows. These are (1) pre-school (2) elementary (1-8 grades) (3)
general secondary (9-10 grades) (4) above grade ten (including preparatory 1& 2, 10+1,
10+2, 10+3, university education) (5) non regular (adult education and literacy
campaign). For this purpose, a grade is defined as a stage of instruction usually

180
covered in the course of the school year. The grade in which the respondent was
attending during the census was pre-coded and provided to the enumerators with
separate code card sheet.

Status of school attendance question was also similarly phrased and asked in the 1994
Population and Housing Census, but in 2007, the response categories slightly were
different. The modification was done based on the new educational curriculum being
implemented by the Ministry of Education of Ethiopia.

Data on educational attainment is also given in this chapter. Those who were attending
school during the census day and those who attended in the past and left school prior to
the census day were asked to report the highest grade completed in the formal
education system by further probing whether the person completed that grade in the
current or old educational curriculum. The possible categorical answers for highest
grade completed question are (1) pre-school (2) grade 1-8 (these are similar in both
system) (3) grade 9-10 (new system) (4) grade 9-12 (old system) (5) certificate (old
system) (6) preparatory 1 & 2 (7) at least one year in a diploma program (8) at least
one year in a first-degree program (9) diploma (old system) (10) Bachelor's Degree (11)
at least one year in a post-graduate program (12) Master's degree (13) Doctorate/PhD
(14) 10+1 certificate (15) at least one year in 10+2 program (16) 10+2 program (17) first
year in 10+3 program (18) second years in 10+3 program (19) diploma (10+3) (20) non-
Regular (adult education and literacy campaign). The detailed code for highest grade
completed was pre-coded and delivered to the enumerators with separate code card to
be filled in the field.

Unlike the 2007 census, highest grade completed in the 1994 census was asked for
those who were reporting as literate and their highest grades were based on the old
educational system. This chapter also presents data on educational attainment for
population aged five years and over.

181
The report in general and this chapter in particular refers to formal education only. "A
formal education is defined as education in which students are enrolled or registered
regardless of the mode of teaching used’’. It includes both 'regular school and
university education' and 'adult education'. All regular schools and university education
are essentially formal. Adult education, however, could be formal and non-formal. The
2007 Population and Housing Census covered only the formal component of the adult
education and all regular as well as university education.

Regular school and university education are used to describe the system that
provides a 'ladder' by which children and young people may progress from primary
schools through universities (although many drop out on the way). Adult education is
used to describe out-of-school education, which provides education for people who are
not in the regular school and university system and who are generally fifteen years or
older (although in some circumstances, younger students are accommodated along with
their older colleagues) “(UNESCO, 1976).
