A census involves collecting data from every member of a population. Since there are only 20 employees (a small - sized population), collecting data from all of them will give complete and accurate information about their educational backgrounds. Other sampling methods (cluster, simple random, stratified, systematic random) are used when it's not feasible or necessary to survey the entire population.
