  • DEGREE: Comparative - Highest completed degree of education: Categories for international comparison

    The aim of this variable is to measure the highest completed education level/ degree of the respondent in order to facilitate international comparison.

    Procedure: The degree of education is asked country-specific (see variables AT_DEGR-ZA_DEGR). Then, the harmonized ISSP categories for the variable DEGREE are to be computed from the country-specific degree variables.
    Correspondence lists between country-specific categories and categories of the ISSP DEGREE variable must be reported in detail in the BV documentation template for each country.
    Since DEGREE is a slightly re-arranged version of ISCED-97, instructions for actually coding ISCED-97 from nat_DEGR can be used in each country to support the coding of DEGREE.
    ........................................................................................................................................

If it is a foreign diploma, please choose the equivalent French diploma.' (If 'A higher education diploma') 'What is this diploma? If it is a foreign diploma, please choose the equivalent French diploma.'
    GB-GBN: Constructed by using the two questions (multicoded): 'Have you passed any of the examinations on this card?' and 'And have you passed any of the exams or got any of the qualifications on this card?'

    US: What is the highest grade in elementary school or high school that you finished and got credit for? (If finished 9th-12th grade or 'Don't know') Did you ever get a high school diploma or a GED certificate? Was that a diploma awarded by your high school at graduation at the end of 12th grade, a GED awarded after you took a test, or something else? Did you ever complete one or more years of college for credit - not including school such as business college, technical or vocational school? (If yes) How many years did you complete? Do you have any college degrees? (If yes) What degree or degrees? If you have more than one, please select the highest degree that you have.

  • Note:
    / CL: The bridging from the national education variable to the harmonized ISCED 97 variable is difficult as it does not match the classification used in Chile (see CL_DEGR). During the data integration, data for DEGREE were harmonized by means of CL_DEGR and EDUCYRS to meet the ISCED 97 standard. According to ISCED97 'primary schools are supposed to give students a sound basic education in reading, writing and mathematics … They in principle cover six years of full time schooling.' In countries where there is no separate primary school, but the first school form is a compulsory school that ends after the 8-10 grade, codes 0-3 of the standardized DEGREE variable need to be constructed by means of the EDUCYRS 'Years of full-time schooling' variable: those, who report to have attended less than 6 years fall into category 0 'No formal schooling'. Those who report to have finished 6 years of schooling should be coded 1 'Primary School'. Who finishes compulsory school successfully has to be coded 2 'Lower Secondary'. In cases where CL_DEGR and EDUCYRS would have assigned a different DEGREE category, the category corresponding to CL_DEGR was used, assuming that respondents tend to have more reliable estimates of their educational level than years of schooling.
    / FI: Respondents who finished compulsory school successfully (see FI_DEGR) are coded to category 2 'Lower secondary'.
    / GB-GBN: Primarily, the British DEGREE variable records qualification levels. For the sake of integration/ harmonization, respondents with 'No secondary qualifications' (see code 1 in GB_DEGR) originally encoded to 'No answer' (code -9) in DEGREE were retrospectively recoded at best for DEGREE based on the variable EDUCYRS (if EDUCYRS <6: DEGREE=0; if EDUCYRS 6+7 years: DEGREE=1; if EDUCYRS=8-11: DEGREE=2).
    / JP: Also answers to the question on EDUCYRS were taken to construct code 0 'No formal education' (if EDUCYRS=0, DEGREE=0). However, no such case was included in the raw data.
    / TW: For respondents with elementary school as highest level of education (code 3 in TW_DEGR) the question on the number of years of school education (EDUCYRS) was used to assign respondents with at least 6 years of primary school into code 1 in DEGREE.
    / US: DEGREE codes 0-2 are constructed by using EDUCYRS next to US_DEGR.
