You need to first check first to see whether the questions were asked in the household and individual questionnaires. Sometimes the questions are different from the standard, and they are renamed with a prefix "SH" followed by the question number (if asked in the household questionnaire), by the prefix "S" followed by the question number (if in the woman's questionnaire), and "SM" followed by the question number (if in the man's questionnaire).

You could also search for the string: "age" or "education" in the .map file, which is the data file layout or codebook. This file can be opened with any text editor.
