GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
In South Sudan, the education system requires completing 6 years of secondary education to be a secondary graduate. While, in North Sudan, the system requires completing 3 years only to be a secondary graduate.
Since there is no way to distinguish between those who completed their secondary education following the northern or the southern system, it was assumed that those who completed 3 or 6 years of secondary education to be secondary graduates.
However, to partially avoid over estimation, those who completed level 3 and were attending level 4, at the time of the survey, were assumed to have completed "primary", while those who completed level 3 in secondary and were not attending school at the time of the survey, were assumed to be secondary graduates.
Some over estimation might have occurred, though, for those who attended till level 3 of secondary school and dropped out when they were supposed to complete secondary to level 6 as per the southern system, however no indication in the data can help distinguish this part of the sample. Even the Migration data are not too detailed to serve in distinguishing them. Those as per the above assumption, were considered secondary graduates.
Similarly, there are 3 education systems for primary education (completing level 4, 6, or 8). Therefore, those who are not currently attending school and reported to have already completed 4, 6 or 8 levels of primary are assumed to have completed primary/lower secondary education.
While for those who were attending school at the time of the survey in levels 5 or 7 of primary, were categorized as "attending elementary school and did not complete first level" in PEDUC_D.
In the old education systems, junior 4 and junior 3 are equivalent to preparatory education.
