downloaded the recently released 2022 DHS for Tanzania and I noticed some potential inconsistencies with the education variables. In particular, variables hv106, hv107 and hv108. The education system in the country consists of 7 years for primary school, 4 years for low secondary school and 2 years for high secondary school (a total of 13 years) http://data.uis.unesco.org/?ReportId=163
The tabulation of hv106 and hv107 shows 7 years for primary school (which is consistent with the above) and 4 only years for secondary school (see screen shot below). I am not sure how to count the additional 2 years for high secondary school. In addition, variable hv108 (education completed in single years) shows values up to 34 years which are not only very high but also inconsistent with hv106 and hv107.
Would you be able to help me understand how to obtain 13 years between primary and secondary school? Also how was hv108 constructed?
Many thanks!!
