Dear DHS-team,

I am trying to look at some indicators for educational attainment over time and use also the very first DHS. I saw the questionnaires that were used and there are respective questions for completed grades, level of education, etc. However, when I look at the recodes, I only find variables related to education in the individual one. I guess they refer then only to the interviewed women but not to all interviewed household members.

I saw also in the document containing the list of variables that there is a variable S107(S108) but I wasn't able to find it in any of the four available recodes. The DHS I'm referring to are Burundi 87, Ghana 88, Kenya 89, Liberia 86, Mali 87, Senegal 86, Togo 88, Uganda 89 and Zimbabwe 88.

I hope you'll be able to help me with that.

Kind regards,
Albena
