GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
This variable is valid for all individuals in the pre-primary school age or above while it is coded missing for others. Primary school age will vary by country.
This is a country-specific standard that depends on how school attendance is defined. Pre-school may be included here. Also, in some countries, the ever attended school variable could be coded yes even if the individual has attended school for a minimum amount of time. The differences need to be carefully documented.
One is not required to have completed any level of education to answer this question positively.
By logic, EVERATTD, EDUC and ATTSCH have the following relationship:
If ATTSCH=1, EVERATTD=1
If EDUC>=2 (and ? 99), EVERATTD=1
If EDUC=99 & ATTSCH=0, EVERATTD=0
