Notes

GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
For persons presently attending school (PATSCH=1), value missing for others.
For secondary school, if not specified in the questionnaire, it is assumed that it is an academic secondary school.
For the surveys where is no distinction between university and post university they are considered as university
As with PEDUC, we recommend that PENROL be restructured as a categorical variable appropriate to the analysis.

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
Generated by upgrading the level indicated in the educational status variable (q513) by one level
