This paper explores the schooling choice decision of parents in Bangladesh and concludes that the parental level of education, in particular father’s education level, negatively influences the likelihood of sending the child to the religious stream of education. The paper suggests that parents’ access to information and their education level might be related- allowing them to make informed schooling choice for their children.
