22 V. Summary and Conclusion 25 Appendix: Determinants of School Choice, Upper Secondary Level, 1992-93 27 References 29 Page vii Foreword Education is usually thought of as a publicly provided good, yet in many developing countries households spend substantial amounts of money to send their children to public schools. This is the case in Vietnam, where private schools have only recently appeared. In situations where parents are already making substantial outlays, the question arises whether they may be better served by sending their children to private schools.

Table 5 presents probit estimates of the determinants of school enrollment for children aged 8 to 15 years. Children less than eight years of age are excluded because they may simply have delayed school enrollment. 0 percent for all children aged 8-15 years. 3 percent. However, caution is in order when interpreting those estimates. In particular, part of the impact of parent's education may reflect unobserved "ability", which is correlated with parental education.

However, one finding that may not have been foreseen is that girls are much less likely to attend school than boys; other factors held constant, the probability that a girl will attend school is almost 8 percent lower than the probability that a boy will attend.
