Description

Definition

For male household members, HWMEDUCLVL (HB66) reports the highest level of school attended. Countries vary in the gradations of their school systems, but HWMEDUCLVL is a standardized variable reporting level of education in four broad categories: No education, Primary, Secondary, and Higher.

The DHS recode manuals state, "In some countries the educational system does not fit naturally within this scheme, and a different categorization was used for the Final Report. In this case, this variable is constructed as accurately as possible from the country's own scheme, and the variable used for the Final Report is included as a country-specific variable."
