dc.description.abstractGender disparity in educational investment can manifest through enrollment of boys in private schools while girls are sent to government schools. Sorting by gender impedes one of the targets of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, which seeks to ensure that all boys and girls have access to free, equitable, quality primary and secondary education. This paper reviews surveys of children 6-16 years old to analyze school choice decisions. Results show a pro-male bias. The gender gap is significant for both primary and post-primary school-aged children. New policies need to place special emphasis on gender inclusiveness.en
