Codes and Frequencies
Description
EDLEVELDAD records the highest level of education attended by the father of the child in the household.
Countries differ in their educational systems and levels, but this variable harmonizes codes across samples using composite coding.
Comparability
There are inherent comparability issues due to difference among countries' distinct educational systems. Categories sharing the same first digit are largely comparable, with second digits retaining country-specific details.
There are several comparability issues related to the inconsistent identification of levels across surveys. Sometimes these inconsistencies apply to the set of surveys for a country.
Primary and less than primary may be combined in the source data for some surveys. In those cases, the data are coded to primary.
Lower secondary is not consistently identified in the source data. It may be combined with secondary or with primary.
Secondary and tertiary are combined in the source data for many surveys.
Vocational education is not consistently identified in source data. When not identified, it is generally combined with secondary.
Lower secondary is not consistently identified in the source data. It may be combined with secondary or with primary.
