Description

YRSCHLRW reports the number of years of education the female respondent completed at the highest level of schooling achieved, as reported in EDUCLVLRW. This variable is country-specific to Rwanda and reflects the educational levels recognized in the Rwandan educational system.

Comparability

YRSCHLRW has no comparability problems.

Because YRSCHLRW reports the number of years of schooling at the level achieved, "4 years" does not mean 4 years total, but 4 years at whichever level of education the respondent achieved. Thus, a code of 4 could indicate 4 years of primary school, or post-primary, for example. Users should consult the Survey Text tab for exact question wording and surrounding questions.

Comparability - Standard DHS

A question about the highest year of education the respondent has completed is included in every phase of the standard DHS questionnaire. YRSCHLRW is a country-specific variable.
