Dear All,
I have a question related to the education variable.
Variable hv106 (highest educational level attained) is categorised 'no education,preschool', primary, secondary, higher and don't know.
From what I can see, hv107 (highest year of education completed) takes values between 0 and 7, this can't mean that these are the grades of the students.
When I take hv108 (education completed in single years) it ranges from 0 to 19 and it being calculated as:
0 + hv107 if hv106 = primary
5 + hv107 if hv106 = secondary
12 + hv107 if hv106 = higher
0 if hv106 = no education,preschool
1. I want to know, what grade the child is in?
Since primary is staring from 0, can I take that if hv108 is 4 would imply the child is in grade (year) 4 and say if it is 11, the child is in grade (year) 11?
2 children might have same YEARS of schooling but they are in different grade/year.\
For example Child X and Y can have 8 years of schooling but Child X might be in grade 8 and child Y might be in grade 7 due to repeating one grade.
For a case like this, how would hv106, hv107 and hv108 be recorded?
Thank you.
