GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
For persons presently attending school (PATSCH=1), value missing for others.
For secondary school, if not specified in the questionnaire, it is assumed that it is an academic secondary school.
For the surveys where is no distinction between university and post university they are considered as university
As with PEDUC, we recommend that PENROL be restructured as a categorical variable appropriate to the analysis.
COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
Generated only for those currently attending school and reported as outside labor force in the relation to labor force variable (neither employed nor unemployed), while for those reported as currently attending but are employed/unemployed, the level of schooling was recoded missing.
The variable is generated using the highest level of education attained+1, therefore it is only generated for individuals aged 5+, i.e., if the highest level attained is primary for example, normally the individual should be attending in preparatory, except for postgraduates remained postgraduates since no higher levels could be attained Those who were illiterate and are currently students were recoded into “other” education together with those indicated “read and write” in the educational status, except for individuals aged 16 years of age or younger still eligible to enroll in primary education, were reported to be in primary education.
“Secondary” and “Intermediate college” graduates” were classified into “university” since no distinction between academic/vocational/ technical secondary.
