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

Here is the statement from DP (data processing at DHS) of what was changed:

1. V131/MV131 Ethnicity. Some of the open ended responses for these variables were not recoded to the correct categories, and have been reviewed and corrected.
2. Variables containing the number of years of education in single years were incorrectly calculated for some cases. These have been corrected. The list of variables affected is shown below:

Variable Description
HV108 Single years of education household members
HV124 Single years of education at current school year household members
HV128 Single years of education at previous school year household members
V133 Single years of education female respondents
V715 Single years of education of spouse
MV133 Single years of education male respondents


I think that for your purposes, hv108 (in the PR file) or v133 (in the IR file) are most relevant. Are you saying that those variables have the same distribution in both the previous release and the latest release? Please let us know. If that's the case, maybe there was some mixup and we need to alert the DP staff.
