Description

Definition

EDUCLVLMN (MV106) reports the highest level of school the male respondent attended. Countries vary in the gradations of their school systems, but EDUCLVLMN is a standardized variable reporting level of education in four broad categories:

No education
Primary
Secondary
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."
