Study on impacts of abolition of school fee on primary education in Myanmar

Abstract

In this paper, I examine the impacts of the school fee abolition on the primary educational attainment after the abolition process by using the quasi natural experiment. I use Linear Probability Model to analysis relationship between primary school fee and educational attainment. I find that the school fee abolition is not the main reason in order to get universal primary education in Myanmar from my analysis. Although the school fees are free, there are other socio economic characteristics as the obstacles to get the educational attainment.
