DHS 6 Dom. Republic - Variables Missing from Map and Recode Guide [message #23414]

I am looking at the Household Member recode of the 2013 Dominican Republic Standard DHS 6 dataset (the file titled DRPR61FL.dta)

Within this data set is a variable called "sh25" (there are also other "sh" variables, but sh25 is the one of interest for me). While I can deduce from the variable values that this represents education level for someone, I can't find any more information on it from the DHS 6 Map or Recode Manual (it simply isn't in them). Now, I know from other forum posts that "sh" variables are country specific, but I don't where to find more information on these variables.

I believe this "sh25" variable represents Head of Household Education Level. Where can I confirm this?

Are there country specific maps or recode manuals as well? Where might they be located?

Any help would be appreciated!
