                                       <__code>MAS/KIM/0002</__code>
                                   </school_prompt>

def xml = """<iics_survey_school_questionnaire_v1>
                               <visit>baseline</visit>
                                   <school_prompt>
                                   <school_name>null</school_name>
                                   <__code>MAS/KIM/0002</__code>
                               </school_prompt>
                       </iics_survey_school_questionnaire_v1>"""
