“…Temuan terakhir adalah bahwa pengambilan keputusan terkait dengan pemillihan sekolah bukan merupakan hasil negosiasi yang berlangsung secara setara. Merujuk kepada penelitian lain, terdapat kecenderungan peran dominan istri dalam memilih sekolah untuk-anak mereka (Mariel, Scarpa, dan Vega-bayo 2018).…”

There has been a sharp increase of the number of parents sending their children to religious-based private schools, ranging from early childhood education to that of high school, since the past three decades. In addition to the urban and peri-urban population, this trend has also been extending that of rural, in which individual decision making is presumed to be also strongly influenced by, or at least takes account seriously consideration made by, extended family. This research focuses on how parents come up with the decision to send their children to religious-based private school. Applying social network analysis, this research aims at understanding and explaining the process of socialization, dissemination, and the fortification of ideas on the importance of sending children to the religiousbased private school. The results of this research are: First, there is the certain dominant perception among parents that the community and society at-large in which parents and their families belong to pose threats to the growth of children and teenagers. Second, there are certain negative perceptions on public and non-religious-based schools. The teaching of religious, moral, and virtuous values are considered as insufficient.Sejak tiga puluh tahun terakhir, sekolah swasta berbasis agama cenderung semakin banyak diminati mulai dari jenjang pendidikan usia ini dini sampai dengan menengah atas. Selain pada masyarakat urban dan semi-urban, kecenderungan ini juga mulai merambah perdesaan, wilayah yang identik dengan masih kuatnya keluarga dan kerabat dalam proses pengambilan keputusan individu. Penelitian ini memfokuskan perhatiannya kepada proses pengambilan keputusan orang tua dalam memilih sekolah swasta bebasis agama untuk anak-anak mereka. Analisis jaringan sosial digunakan untuk memahami proses penanaman, penyebaran, dan diperkuatnya gagasan tentang pentingnya menyekolahkan anak di sekolah swasta berbasis agama. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah bahwa menyekolahkan anak di sekolah berbasis agama banyak dipengaruhi oleh dua hal yang bertautan satu sama lain. Pertama, terdapat persepsi dominan yang memahami masyarakat sebagai salah satu bentuk ancaman bagi tumbuh-kembang anak-anak dan remaja. Kedua, persepsi negatif terhadap sekolah milik pemerintah dan sekolah swasta yang berbasis non-agama. Pendidikan agama, moral, dan budi pekerti di sekolah-sekolah tersebut dipandang tidak memadai.

“…Sociological scholars focused on the quantitative study of school segregation with much emphasis placed on ethnic and racial dimensions, mainly in America and Europe, including the impact on home-to-school mobility, the differences in charters, and public and private schools [10][11][12][13][14]. School selection is a common problem, existing in many counties, that involves parental choices of schools, school choice mechanisms, impact, and policy and development trends [15][16][17][18][19]. There are also a series of studies associated with commuting to school, including accessibility and the mode of transportation [20,21].…”

Equalization of education facilities, which means the balanced distribution of human and material resources under limited resource conditions, is one of the goals of sustainable development. In the process of rapid urbanization in China, there are apparent discrepancies between urban and rural areas because of different land and household registration systems. Primary schools with three types of different administrative affiliations also have significant distinctions. This study is aimed at assessing and comparing the configuration of primary schools with three different administrative affiliations, including cities, towns, and villages. After building an indicator system, the entropy weight method is applied to calculate the overall and category configuration scores of each school. Based on a spatial database, the ArcGIS thematic maps display the geography characteristic of each school in different geolocations. Moreover, the Kruskal–Wallis test identifies if the configuration of primary schools with different administrative affiliations is equal. The results indicate that the allocation of primary schools with three different administrative affiliations showed a ternary development. Moreover, although primary schools with city affiliation had significant advantages in education quality and convenience, their supply–demand conditions were not optimistic. In addition, the quality of the primary schools subordinate to towns was better, but convenience was generally lower. Finally, the quality of primary schools subordinate to villages and some towns was still poor. The results provide facts and a basis for policymakers to achieve an equity configuration in the sustainable development context.

“…The same dataset used in the present paper and obtained by the use of a DCE has been analysed in Mariel et al (2018), in that case focusing on the differences in school preferences between wives and husbands. The authors achieve this using a bargaining discrete choice model that should capture the deliberate joint parental decision on school choice.…”

“…The present paper, however, is based on a pooled data set including both wives and husbands because the goal is not the bargaining process couples face, but the effect of socio-demographic variables on individual's preferences regarding school choice. The methodological approach also differs significantly from Mariel et al (2018) because the present paper applies a classical Mixed Logit Model (MXL) with sociodemographic variables as so called meanshifters whereas the former paper focuses on a bargaining discrete choice model with non-random parameters. Analysing school choice preferences in terms of socio-demographic variables such as family wealth and language spoken at home is a key issue to enforce new public policies that affect the school allocation process.…”

The objective of this paper is to analyse which school characteristics parents prefer in the Basque Country when choosing a primary school for their children, by carrying out a Discrete Choice Experiment applied to parental school choice. After conducting the experiment and gathering the answers, responses have been analysed using a Random Parameter Logit. Results indicate that, in stark contrast to other countries and regions, the most relevant school characteristics are the main language of instruction and religious orientation of the school. The main contribution of this work is the quantification, in monetary units, of the parental preferences regarding school characteristics in the Basque Country; as well as the first application of this methodology to School Choice in Spain.
