Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

You may be misinterpreting v107. That variable gives the number of years WITHIN the reported level, v106. The total number of years is v133, "education in single years". It is constructed by combining v106 and v107. In the Kenya 2014 survey, the following table has v106 for columns, v107 for rows, and v133 for cell values (ignore the Total row and column).
/index.php?t=getfile&id=2384&private=0

In the Kenya 2022 survey there was an error in the construction of the education variables. New versions of the files for that survey were put on the website just a few days ago and you should use them in place of the old files.

I can't account for illegal values, such as the 7 cases you found (if indeed they are illegal) in the KE 2022 survey. DHS files have remarkably few such values, but there are some. You may be able to find out whether and how they were altered by comparing with the new versions of the data files. (I can't do that because the internal data folder I use has not been updated yet).

Let us know if you have other questions.
