Note:
/ DE: Probe added if respondents' answer equals respondent's age to reduce misunderstanding on question meaning: Did you state your age? With this question, we would like to know the years that you spent in school, university, or other schooling.
/ IN: For 'No Formal Schooling' details – in India, open schooling is widely spread. So people may not have formally gone to school but have taken examinations directly as 'Private' student. The Indian Education boards allow them to appear different examination just by virtue of being 15/ 17 or 21 years of age. These students study on their own; without going to any formal schooling; but appear in High School, Intermediate or College examinations.
/ IS: Please note that EDUCYRS might not include full years of education. According to the 1907 law farmer's children were supposed to be at least 2 months a year in school and children who lived in towns for 6 months a year. This difference between rural and 'urban' areas stayed for a long time and in fact stayed in some form all up until 1991. Respondents could be adding up the months they attended school and transform that into whole years since they went to school for such a short periods at a time. When adding up, they might have attended school for one or two months each semester (for the age 7/ 8/ 9 until 12/ 13/ 14). Originally, this variable included decimal numbers, the numbers were retrospectively rounded to whole numbers following the ISSP standard for this variable.
/ KR: The information in this variable was constructed based on the answers to the four individual questions documented above (for further details comp. 'Background Variable Documentation').
/ NZ: The standard variable EDUCYRS were first coded using the 7 categories of the first question. However due to lack of specific answers for years of education, the respondents with longer years of education were further filtered according to their stated qualification in the second question (8 categories). Where applicable or necessary, EDUCYRS variables were generated based on conversion of qualification to education time, with reference to the New Zealand Socio-Economic Index 2006 (Table 5, p. 23). There are 10 years of obligatory schooling for those with no formal qualifications; Trade of professional certificate centred as 12 (between 11.5, basic vocational, and 12.5 skilled vocational qualifications), Diploma below degree level centred on 13 (between Level 5 or 6 Diplomas), Undergraduate set at 16 years, Postgraduate or higher education centred as 18.5 (between 17 and 20) which was rounded to 19 years, No formal schooling set as 0, Less than compulsory school set as 8.
