I am trying to understand how the years of education in the women's recode is calculated for Cameroon and whether it changed over time. It appears that in the later surveys, classes 6 and 7 are combined (since they currently and formerly mark the end of primary school). However, in the earlier surveys, class 7 is counted as a separate year. Does this mean that in the earlier surveys the women with secondary school have a year "too much" of schooling compared to the later surveys?
One of the side effects of this is that literacy questions appeared to be asked for women with up to 7 years of education in surveys 22, 31, and 44, while it was only up to year 6 for survey 61.
Thank you,
Claus Portner
