Abstract
This research explores the impact of socioeconomic factors and school quality on parental decision-making for private school enrollment, comparing urban and rural environments. With data from 500 parents across distinct locations, findings underscore notable differences in factors influencing school choice, such as income, education costs, school reputation, and proximity. This study provides insights into socioeconomic disparities affecting parental choice and calls for policy interventions aimed at improving equitable access to quality education in diverse settings.
