Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
Yes, the relationship among these variables is tricky. "Highest year completed", hv107, is numbered WITHIN "Highest level attained", hv106. "Education completed in single years", hv108, is constructed from hv106 and hv107. The construction can be inferred from "tab hv107 hv106, summarize(hv108) means".
In my humble opinion, hv108 in this survey is not very useful. It ranges up to 33 years! You may want to do another recode that is based on less detailed categories of hv106. In most surveys, hv106 just has 4 categories, rather than the 8 categories in this survey. I can understand that the implementing agency wanted extra detail for hv106, but the construction of hv108 is not consistent with its label.
