Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
Several variables giving single years of education need to be recoded. They were previously coded with 6 years of primary and 6 of secondary. However, as you say, Kenya has 8 and 4, respectively. For example, hv128 in the PR file was constructed as
gen hv128= hv127 if hv126==1
replace hv128= 6+hv127 if hv126==2
replace hv128=12+hv127 if hv126==3
However, it should have been calculated as follows, with 8 rather than 6 in the second line:
gen hv128= hv127 if hv126==1
replace hv128= 8+hv127 if hv126==2
replace hv128=12+hv127 if hv126==3
The variables affected--that is, that need to be recoded--are hv108, hv124, hv128, v133, v715, and mv715. The next update of the files will include corrected versions of these variables, but you can fix them now.
