This paper shows that low-income parents in Pakistan are keen to secure good-quality education for their children

Abstract

This paper shows that low-income parents in Pakistan are keen to secure good-quality education for their children, but they have to choose not only between state schools and low-fee private schools but also from among an array of low-fee tuition providers in their immediate neighbourhood to ensure that the child can progress through the primary grades.

This research is part of the Research on Improving Systems of Education programme.
