To obtain a better understanding of the factors influencing parentsâ decision in choosing private primary schools for children, researcher has investigated the perception between two groups of parents, university and non-university educated parents. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data from five university educated parents and five from non-university educated parents. Data was analyzed by using an interpretive analysis method. The findings indicated the different factors influencing the parents' decision such as quality and standard of education, learning environment, security, safety and services. According to the findings, most parents have a positive perspective on the choice of private schools even some private schools are expensive. They believe that the higher the school fees it set the higher in quality they will be offered. The parents; for example, transferred children from cheaper to higher price in term of school fees and services. The children in wealthier and higher educated family background have a higher possibility of transferring to private schools than children from poorer and lower educated family background.enRoyal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP)Parents' Perceptions on Choosing a Private Primary School for their Children: a case study in one private primary school in Phnom PenhThesis
