Abstract:

In this study we estimate the effects of three consecutive reforms on tuition control and waivers for poor and rural families from 2000 to 2006 in China on school enrollment. we find that tuition control has little effect on primary and junior-high school enrollment. However, tuition waivers, free text books and living expense subsidies for the students from poor and rural families have a positive and statistically significant effect on school enrollment of children, especially on that of girls. Tuition waive for the children in other rural families has a statistically significant gender differential effect on school enrollment and is in girls' favor.
