Here is the list of our recommendations to improve the quality of the survey:
1.
Make the instruction clearer
2.
Some questions needs some revision
3.
Change the time spent to Internet Café(s) from per week to per day
4.
Improve grammar and construction of sentences
5.
It should have covered not just the academic performance but also other aspects (e.g. psychological, emotional, mental, physical etc.)
