Notes

GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
If a person is on a short school holiday when interviewed, he or she is considered to be at school. However, if the person is on the holiday between two years of schooling, one cannot assume that he/she will continue schooling into the next year.
The variable can be created using either the attendance or the enrolment question (since typically just one of them is available in each survey).
The generation of this variable does not require one to have completed any level to be considered currently attending school.
Adults currently attending literacy programs are considered as attending school (ATTSCH = 1).
In the case that the person is not currently attending school but there is no information on whether he/she attended school and left or never attended school use information from EDUC to impute the right value.
