ds 260 previous education

[cornmayeat 2]

hey,

im filling up the ds 260 form and i am on the previous education part. i have a few questions i need help with.

1) "Have you attended any educational institutions at a secondary level or above?" what is secondary level equivalent to? is it grade 6?

2) "Number of educational institutions attended". i have to enter a number here... so here's my educational history...

i was enrolled in the same school from lower kindergarten to grade 10 for a total duration of 12 years. then i did my high school (grade 11 and 12) from another college. Then i graduated with a bachelor's degree from another university. And now i am enrolled at another university for a master's degree but i dont have the master's degree yet... so what number should i enter? 3? or 4?

3) Since I dont have the master's degree yet, should i just enter the fields up to my bachelor's degree?

4) The form wants me to enter all the enrollment date from beginning to end for each degree. i dont think i can manage to get the records dating back to 1992 when i first joined kindergarten, should i just assume an approximate date?

thanks

As far as I know, without knowing every detail of how schooling works for your country, they're looking for high school onwards. So in your case, I believe this would be grade 11 until present.

Secondary school depends on the country, but it can start in grade 7 - 11. In your case it seems your high school would be considered secondary education.

So for you:

1) Yes you have attended school at a secondary level or above.

2) Put 3, since at a secondary level or above, you attended 3 schools

3) If you're referring to the question "Highest level of education completed" then yes you'd select university with degree.

4) Its implied to apply to secondary schools and above, so enter dates for high school, university and the second university. Best estimate dates are ok if you can't remember specific dates.

There is no harm in entering everything, but it is ok -- and most people do it -- to only enter from high school and above.
