2011 Census - trainee teacher

Hi guys,

I was hoping for some help completing the census as a trainee teacher. It regards boxes 7 and 26-42.

I'm not sure if it counts as work (as it is funded) or full time education (which I'm leaning towards).

Do I fill the details in for this as 'a job' or put the details from my previous job from last year?

I'm sure others must have completed this and I would really appreciate the help.

Hopefully this is the right place to post but if not please tell me and I'll move it!

Thank you so much :)

    Are you training through a university/college? I'd say unless you have an employment contract and receive weekly or monthly payslips then fill in that you are studying. Why not phone the help number on the form?

    I just rang them up - I just wondered if anybody else had already done the same and would help quickly.

    Just so people know - it is full time education / No work in the last week / a student / fill in details of previous job if you had one.

    I would personally tick both and let them decide.
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?
