KO90 have high school diploma Erratum on spells of education: Spells of education in either a 2-year or a 4-year college are recorded in ko114 thru ko125. However, respondents who attended both a vocational school and either a 2-year or a 4-year college (ko106a=1 and (ko106b=1 or ko106c=1)) were incorrectly routed to the sequences s12 through s29. Hence, a history of college attendance will need to include information from these variables as well for those who also attended a vocational school. Further, the s12-s29 series recorded only one spell of education for each type of college attended. Now I'd like to ask you about your education. Do you have a high school diploma?
