Derivation

variable: schltype (table[s]: cen_individ, crs_cenm, css_sei_all, combined_tb_cases_controls_final [derived table])
variable: educat (table[s]: NCD_combined_data_all_final [derived table])

<to prepare NCD data:>
recode educat 0/1=0 2/4=1 5=2 6=3, gen(schltype)
<after all data are appended together:>
replace schltype=0 if schlever==0
replace schltype=1 if schlstd>4 & schlstd~=. /*assume those with school standard higher than 4 but school type is secondary are actually primary*/
