Hello

By looking at the cross tabs between years of education v133 and educational achievement v149 in 2010 DHS, I find that all women with 6 years of education are categorised as having 'complete primary' education, all women with 7 years of education are categorised as having 'incomplete primary' education, and the majority of women with 8 years of education are categorised as having 'incomplete primary' education while the rest of them as having 'incomplete secondary' education.

I do not understand why this happens since primary education also lasts 8 years in Malawi. When looking at the same cross tabs in the previous surveys the results reflect the educational system in the country.

Am I missing something?

Thanking you in advance.

Best
