Description
Definition
For household members under age 5 who were potential subjects for height and weight measurement, HWCMOMEDUCLVLCS (HC68) reports the highest level of school their mothers attended, as included in the final report. Educational levels specified in DHS final reports reflect country-specific educational systems and include more detailed levels than the broad categories of no education, primary, secondary, and higher schooling.
The related variable HWCMOMEDUCLVL (HC61) reports the highest level of school their mothers attended, as indicated in the women's questionnaire and using broad general categories only (e.g., primary, secondary, higher education).
