Notes

GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
This variable is valid for all individuals in the pre-primary school age or above while it is coded missing for others. Primary school age will vary by country.
This is a country-specific standard that depends on how school attendance is defined. Pre-school may be included here. Also, in some countries, the ever attended school variable could be coded yes even if the individual has attended school for a minimum amount of time. The differences need to be carefully documented.
One is not required to have completed any level of education to answer this question positively.

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
The code "1" in the original variable indicating those below the question age category were recoded missing.
