GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
The lower age cut-off at which information is collected will vary from country to country.
If no grade level information exists, this variable will be missing.
The variable does not take into account the actual number of years required to reach this level, in other words, first grade repeated three times still only counts as 1 year of schooling.
If a person has completed a BA/BSc, MA/MSc or PhD, but no number of years is known, use country specific information for the number of years.
COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
The variable indicating the number of years of education successfully completed (q523) is only provided for those who were enrolled in the past and left school.
For those who are currently enrolled, years of education will be computed using the grade the person is currently attending.
The number of years of education was replaced by "0" for those who never attended school (q516=3).
43 cases are reported illiterate in q524 while they have a number of successful years of education up to 5 years and they also reported different reasons for not being enrolled at schools. These cases were checked one by one, 70% are aged 40 years or older and no indication on whether they are illiterate or not. No correction could be done.
