Abstract: This paper uses Fairlie's techniques to estimate differences in school enrollment between municipal and non-municipal area, we found that group differences in all explanatory variables explain approximately 70% of the gap. Education level of household head is the largest significant factor accounting for a gap in males’ school enrollment whereas the largest factor explaining the municipal/non-municipal gap in school enrollment rate of female 15–17 of age is income.
