BRAC has been operating two models of primary education for the children of poor households in Bangladesh since 1985. After completing three-year curricula in BRAC schools, these children enrol in formal schools for further education. This study identified the level, pattern and determinants of enrolment in formal schools of the graduates of BRAC’s education programme. Information of 1,259 children, who were graduated from BRAC schools in early 1995, was collected at the end of 1995. Both bivariaté and multivariate analyses were performed. About 85% of the graduates of BRAC’s education programme were continuing their education in formal schools. No gender variation in enrolment was found. Findings also indicate that the graduates, who were younger in age, whose mothers had some schooling, and whose households were non-eligible for BRAC membership, were more likely to get further education in formal schools as compared with other groups. Availability of formal schools in their own villages was also found as a determinant of girl’s enrolment. Considering the underdeveloped socioeconomic conditions of the people of Bangladesh, it is concluded that the enrolment rate of the graduates was satisfactory. Measures such as motivation of parents, initiative to set formal school in each village and GO-NGO cooperation in the education sector might be considered for further improvement of the current situation.
