The minimum educational level of mothers involved in the study was elementary school education completed.
Education was measured by the highest level of education completed (elementary school not completed, elementary school completed, vocational education/general secondary education, and college or university education) and dichotomised into "better educated than secondary education" (yes/no).
Of the literate population, 25.7% completed elementary education, 23.3% completed preparatory education and 22.1% completed secondary or higher education.
Education was measured by the highest level of education completed and categorized into "elementary school not completed", "elementary school completed", "vocational education/general secondary education", and "college or university education".
Education was measured by asking for the highest level of education completed and was categorized into "elementary school not completed", "elementary school completed", "vocational education/general secondary education", and "college or university education".
One way we addressed this was by designing a year-long sequence of three science courses (in physical science, life sciences, and earth science) targeted to elementary education students completing their credentials at WWU but open to all undergraduates.
The data refer to the highest grade or year of elementary or secondary school attended, or the highest year of university or other non-university education completed.
Education was evaluated by highest level of schooling, which in the Canadian census refers to the self-reported "highest grade or year of elementary or secondary (high) school attended, or to the highest year of university or college education completed".
Level of education: highest level of education completed, categorized as: high (higher vocational education, university); medium (intermediate vocational education, higher general secondary education, or pre-university education); and low (no education, elementary school, lower vocational education, or lower general secondary education).
Over half of the parents (56.3 %) had not completed their elementary education, 18.1 % had completed elementary school, and 18.1 % had completed high school [ 12].
With regard to the education of the parents, 24%% had no type of study, 27%% had elementary education, 28%% had completed "lower middle school" and 21%% had completed "upper middle school".
