Literal question
What is the highest level of school (name) attended?
Post-question
If level=0, skip to ED5.
Interviewer instructions
For each household member age five or older, ask ED3 and ED4. These questions ask about educational attainment for all household members in this age group. (If children younger than five attend school or preschool, this information will be recorded in the Questionnaire for Children Under Five.) 

If the person has been to school, record the highest level of schooling attended by circling the code for the response. You may need to probe for the type of school attended. Circle '8' if the respondent 'Doesn't know'. If the highest level of school the child has attended is preschool (Level=0), skip to ED5.

For someone not at school anymore, the highest level attended is the one he/she went to before leaving education system, even if it was for a few weeks.  For someone still at school, the highest level is the one he/she is currently attending (or was attending if we are conducting the interview during a long school break period).
