Some items in competence tests are being used in several studies.
Unfortunately, these variable names in Starting Cohort 5 differ from names assigned 
in the additional studies Thuringia (TH) and Baden-Wuerttemberg (BW).



Therefore, we provide a correspondig list of reused variables to address this issue:

	- variables now ship with a characteristic 'NEPS_instname' attached in Stata datasets, reporting the variable name used in the survey
	- meta data in all data sets have been revised and updated where appropriate
	- variables now ship with additional characteristics: NEPS_interviewerinstruction, NEPS_vartype, NEPS_schemeID (where appropriate), 
		NEPS_questionnumber, NEPS_institemID, NEPS_instID


Profile:
	- weights have been added for all waves

xTarget:
	-  generated variables concerning the following topics have been added
		probable vocational training - field of study
		probable place of study
		

xInstitution:
	- the following variables have been added
		Why did the school applicate for the new school concept? (h28a, b, c, d)
		are the preconditions for the new school concept met? (h29a, b, c)
		application for paticipation in G9 school trial? (h30)
		was your school selected as model school? (h31)
		reasons for selection as a model school (h32a, b, c)
		application for the second tranche? (h33)
		which model does your school use to implement the G9 school trial? (h34a)
		astimated proportion of students attending 5th grade at this school because of the G9 school trial?(h35)
	- for consistency reasons some variables switched name (and position):
		e19mb <-> e19mc; g19mb <-> g19mc; m19mb <-> m19mc 
		

xTargetCompetencies:
	- additional scored competencies data for variables resulting from open answer questions indicated by the letter "t" before the suffix _c 
		(with few exceptions: binf21_c, bstw21_c, bftk21_c, bgen21_c) for all waves
	- additional scored competencies data for reading comprehension (e008a through d, e0591 through i, e075a through d, e108a through d) for all waves
