“…Parental education was taken as the most important factor in parental school choice. Parents are taken as the first and most decisions makers in the education of children and when parents' education levels become high their decisions become reasonable in choosing schools for their children (Chaturvedi, 2021;Ghosh & Dey, 2020;Hossain, Ahamed, & Jahan, 2017;Siddiqui, 2017;Tarkhnishvili, Tarkhnishvili, & Strielkowski, 2022).…”

“…In addition, the size of the family is the factor that affects parental school choice in Bangladesh and Georgia. Parents' education is a significant factor as parents are more educated, they can choose schools which are better for their children's future success and in countries like Pakistan, India, Georgia, the USA, Kenya, and Bangladesh parent education was given more attention for school choice (Chaturvedi 2021;Ghosh & Dey, 2020;Hossain, Ahamed, & Jahan, 2017;Siddiqui, 2017;Tarkhnishvili, Tarkhnishvili, & Strielkowski, 2022).…”

The study examined determinants of parental school choice internationally aiming to identify research gaps and providing suggestions for researchers. Articles published between 2000 and 2023 were searched from 9 databases and a total of 30 articles were included in the review. The result showed that parental school choice is critically affected by parent-related factors like parents’ education, income, family size, and education level of the children, and the school-related factors: quality of education, performance of teachers, school facilities, school cost, parent-teacher relationship, and school curriculums are the major ones. The safety/security related and children’s educational achievement is found slightly affecting factor on parental school choice. The research design of reviewed articles is found descriptive research although the explanatory research design was appropriate as it supports better. The study also identified factors for developing and developed countries are different. For developing countries socio-economy, income, family education, cost, curriculum, technology, proximity to home, number of children, and age of the child are the major ones. For developed countries: school quality, teacher performance, special programs, playground, training teachers, library service, student moral development, school performance, environment, school ranking, interaction with parents, discipline, curriculum structure, knowledge, result, and communication skills are paid attention for parental school choice decisions.

“…Despite considerable expenditure made by the government, enrolment in government schools in India has declined (Kingdon, 2020), whereas that in private schools has increased (Chaturvedi, 2021). However, Kerala is an exception to this trend: students' enrolment in government schools in Kerala has increased from 2018-19 onwards (State Planning Board, 2019).…”

“…It is imperative to recognise the inherent inequality in the opportunities and resources accessible to parents regarding their capacity to support their children’s education. Decision-making pertaining to the choice of school is a complex process that is affected by a multitude of factors, such as the socio-economic, cultural and educational environment (Chaturvedi, 2021). According to Lohan et al (2020), infrastructure has a significant impact on educational outcomes, and parents prefer schools with a high-quality infrastructure and better education.…”

What Matters in Choosing School for Children’s Education? Experiences from Kottayam, Kerala

While the role of education in fostering social stability and increasing a country’s human capital is well recognised, there are debates on policies and institutional arrangements in this regard. In particular, parents’ choice of schools appears to be a critical issue as it can influence both educational outcomes and inclusiveness. Given that there is a broader homogeneity in infrastructure facilities available at both household and school levels, one would expect that household-related factors will influence the choice of schooling of children. This article examines such household-level factors that influence households’ choice of schools for children in selected areas of Kottayam District, Kerala. A primary survey was conducted in December 2021 comprising 300 households. Based on the results of the estimated binary logit and probit models, this article reports that the choice of school for children is significantly influenced by households’ ethnic background and economic status, and sex, education, and primary occupation of the family head. There is a higher likelihood of choosing public schools by households from the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe category, those living below the poverty line, or those with agriculture as the primary occupation. On the contrary, this likelihood is less for households with educated and male heads. However, the choice of school for children does not differ significantly between rural and urban households. Further, there is no gender inequality in choosing schools. The findings suggest that future government policies should emphasise infrastructure development and quality improvement in government schools to promote socio-economic inclusion in education.
