Adult Lifelines participants were asked various questions about their educational attainment (section: Demographics).
The questions and answers were based on the Dutch school system. For broader use of the data, self-reported educational attainment was coded into “high”, “middle” and “low” according to international standards.
For the additional COVQ questionnaires, participants' experiences with home-schooling were assessed.
