GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
Primary corresponds to elementary, and lower secondary to preparatory/second stage of basic education
In case there is no distinction in the survey between primary and preparatory education level and the individual is not currently enrolled in school we consider his education level primary
If there is no information on highest level of education completed, the variable can be constructed using diploma level and/or years of education. The selection of the variable must be based on a careful review of the data.
When using currently attending information (level or grade) to construct the variable, it must correspond to the grade (or level) presently attending minus one (1).
This is country specific- not all countries require the same number of school years to complete a given level.
The value "None" does not mean that the person never attended school it means that the individual did not complete the first level of education (elementary)
None corresponds either to those currently enrolled in primary but didn't get the diploma or those illiterate, Read and Write, in informal school such as Koranic school, traditional, vocational training or adult etc.(cross tabulation with type of school will allow to identify those without education level)
If there is no question on highest level of education completed for those not attending school and there is no information on diploma and/or years of education completed, then the variable cannot be constructed.
University education level refers to any higher education after successfully completing secondary level of education regardless of whether this was completed.
Not stated is for cases where no education level is stated- this should be checked and avoided as much as possible. This classification should be documented.
If no information on the completeness of the education level, classify as incomplete and add specific comment to documentation.
If person is illiterate and there is no information on school level, cases are coded 1 "None".
If there is no information on the literacy status all levels other than formal education grades and not stated can be coded 1 "None".
COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
Highest level of education attained is computed for those who are currently attending school using v_221 by degrading their current level of education by one level. While for those who are not currently attending school, PEDUC is computed directly using v_228.
For those who are enrolled in basic education and currently attending in grades 7 to 9, the highest educational level is assumed to be primary while for those currently attending in grades 1 to 6, the highest educational level is recoded "none".
Those currently enrolled in one of the Tunisian Agency for Employment programs for the professional life preparation or continued formation were coded 999 "Not stated". Since, their original level of education attained being secondary, post secondary or higher education, is not identified.
