Abstract: The objective of this paper is to study the education a person acquires and the determining factors of mentioned result. With this in mind, education is conceived as a sequential process of decisions. The educational categories that result from this process are incomplete primary, complete primary, incomplete secondary, complete secondary and higher level education. Based on data for 1997 from the Social Development Survey, a sequential logit model is applied, constructed from four conditional logit models used to estimate, respectively, the probability of completing primary school, attending secondary school, completing secondary school and attaining higher level education. The estimated results indicate that the socioeconomic characteristics are significant determinants of the education a person acquires and have important effects over the probabilities of meeting the different educational levels.
