The study revealed that the urban people have higher education than rural area. Years of the schooling in urban area was more than twice for both men and women and the differences in education in urban area is smallest than the rural area. The differences in education between men and women were smallest among the younger age group and differences for the two older age groups were large in both urban and rural areas. The level of education is lower in the rural areas compared to urban area and the gender significantly influences the level of education. Probit model shows the gender and location (urban/rural) area are significant determinants of schooling.
