P21. What is [the respondent's] highest level of education completed? (e.g., class, form, university) _ _
P-24. What is the highest level completed by [the respondent]? ____
Column P23: Highest level of education reached
82. What is the highest level of education this person has reached? Code in column P23 the highest level of formal education the person has reached i.e. class, form, University, the person has reached. If a person reached standard 4 and dropped out of school before completing it, he/she should be coded "04", etc. Refer to the code list on the cover page of the questionnaire.
Column P24: Highest level of education completed
83. What is the highest class or form this person has completed? If a person was at school and left before completing standard 4 he/she should be coded as having completed standard 3 hence code "03". If a person is at school and is attending standard 4 he/she should be coded as having completed standard 3 hence code "03". Refer to the code list on the cover page of the questionnaire.
84. The simple rule here is that for all persons attending school this year the highest level completed should be one level lower than the highest level reached. And for persons not attending school this year the highest level completed may be the same as the Highest Level Reached or one level below it, but not greater.
85. For example: record the highest class or form the person has completed in the formal primary and secondary school system e.g. a person in form one will have completed standard 8 and therefore should be coded as having completed standard 8, while those who have completed form one should be coded "11 ".1
(a) If a person has sat for 'O' level or 'A' level exams, through correspondence courses etc., that is, the person has not gone to formal school to achieve these certificates, code his/her highest level of education according to the highest exam he/she has sat and passed e.g. code "14" for 'O' level passed exams etc.
(b) If the person has attended university but never completed or is currently attending under-graduate studies code "17": If the person has completed under-graduate and above, code "18".
P-41. What is the highest standard/form/level completed by [person]? _ _
33.5 Column P41: Highest standard/form/level of education completed
Ask: What is the highest standard/form/level completed by [the respondent]?
If a person was at school in standard 4 and left before completing, he/she should be coded as having completed standard 3 hence code "3". If a person is at school and is attending standard 4, he/she should be coded as having completed standard 3 hence code "3". Refer to the code list provided. If P39=3 or 9 then write 97.
- For example: record the highest class or form the person has completed in the formal primary and secondary school system e.g. a person in form one will have completed standard 8 and therefore should be coded as having completed standard 8, while those who have completed form one should be coded "9".
- If a person has not gone to a formal school but has sat for KCPE/CPE or 'O' level or 'A' level exams, through correspondence or adult and continuing education classes code his/her highest level of education according to the highest exam he/she has sat and passed e.g. code "8" for KCPE exams passed or code "12" for 'O' level exams passed etc.
- If a person has attended youth polytechnic but never completed or is currently attending the youth polytechnic studies and he finished Std. 8 then code "8" or he finished Form 3 then code '11': If the person has completed the youth polytechnic studies then code "24".
- If a person has attended university but never completed or is currently attending undergraduate studies and his/her last level completed was Form 4 then code "12" and if his/her last level was Form 6, then code ''14'': If the person has completed undergraduate, then, code "18". If the person is attending a masters or a doctorate degree then his completed level is undergraduate, and code ''19''.
