There is an error in the first sentence of the Results section in the Abstract. The correct sentence is: Completion rates were significantly higher within families with higher education level (82% in tertiary educated families vs. 67% and 56% in secondary and primary educated families respectively) and were strongly correlated within families (ICC = 39.6) and neighbourhoods (ICC = 5.7).

There are multiple errors in Table 2. For the “Neighbourhood variance (95% CI)” and “Family variance (95% CI) levels”, the proportional change in variance (PCV) and median odds ratio (MOR) values in Model 6 are incorrectly omitted. For the “Neighbourhood variance (95% CI)”, “Family variance (95% CI)”, and “Family variance >1 child*” levels, the median odds ratio (MOR) values for Models 1–6 are incorrect. Please see the corrected Table 2 here.

There is an error in S1 Table. For the “Neighbourhood variance (95% CI)” and “Family variance (95% CI)” levels, the median odds ratio (MOR) values for Models 1–6 are incorrect. Please see the corrected S1 Table here.

There is an error in S3 Table. For the “Family variance (95% CI)” level, the median odds ratio (MOR) values for Models 1–6 are incorrect. Please see the corrected S3 Table here.
