Hi,
I was looking at the change in educational attainment in women 15-49 in the last 4 DHS for Ghana with the Stat Compiler. I noticed a huge increase in the proportion with completed secondary and higher (sum of completed secondary and more than secondary), from 17% in 2014 to 55% in 2022, which is quite exceptional (and rather unlikely). If I look in the DHS report and calculate from Table 2.11.1 in DHS2022 and Table 2.12.1 from DHS2014, the increase would be much less: approx. from 18% to 26% which looks more reasonable (and more likely). Can you please check and let me know if there is a problem in the Stat Compiler (or in the DHS reports)? Thanks in advance.
