Education enables us to become acceptable members of social sphere and enable us to take right decision at right time. The study found significant association between perception about enrollment in public schools and children’s education was major priority of the educated parents, they understand their educational problems, teach them at home, give importance to sports, provides them latest technologies and facilities, provide tuition to children if needed, believed in hard work of parents and good grades of children in exams and educated parents’ children obtain good grades. The study recommends that government should initiate mobilization campaign for illiterate parents, which will enhance the enrollment of children in public school. Educated parents know the importance of education in the society and are more interested about the selection of school for their children bright future. Educated parents select the school with factors like better educational environment, quality education, and qualified staff and are strictly managed by head. Government school was more effective than private school but the educated parents always give preference to private schools because of quality education and ignore government school due to poor standard of education, which have bad impact on their performance (Kirjavainen and Loikkanent, 1998)
