Notes
GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
If the variable is not available in the original data, it can be generated using the highest level of education attained. However, the number of years of schooling required to complete different education levels is country specific.
If the level of education attained is also not provided, this variable will be missing.
Only the years of schooling successfully completed should be counted. Thus, those repeated should not be taken into consideration while generating this variable.
COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
Generated by the ERF.
The highest level of education attained was used to estimate the number of years of schooling completed.
Those who can read & write or have a literacy certificate were assumed to have completed 2 years.
The education system in Egypt cancelled the 6 grade of primary during the period 1988 - 2004, so persons aged (15 to 31) had a 5 years primary grade only. otherwise, person should complete the 6 grade in primary education to move to the next preparatory stage.
