Most IPUMS data transformations are performed using variable harmonization tables that specify how each value in the source data is recoded. Some variables also require programming logic in addition to the harmonization table. The harmonization documents for this variable are:
- Harmonization table
- Supplemental programming
- Instructions for interpreting harmonization documents

Comparability — General
The educational system of Papua New Guinea is composed of 6 years of primary education, 4 years of lower secondary, and 2 years of upper secondary.

High school graduates receive a High School Certificate and have the option to take a three-year course to obtain a Certificate or Diploma of Elementary Teaching.
The first stage of higher education is composed of bachelor's degree programs, which take 4 years, and 5 years in the field of medicine. Post-graduate programs last up to 3 years.
