<p>While some governments in sub-Saharan Africa have abolished tuition to achieve universal primary education (UPE), few studies have examined the impacts of the UPE policy beyond school enrollment. This study examines the current situation of dropout and repetition and estimates the determinant factors on the overall internal efficiency under UPE by using panel data including 940 and 894 rural households collected in 2003 and 2005 respectively. We find that girls are less favored to stay in school than boys when there are insufficient financial resources to send all the siblings to schools. We also find that public schools have a much higher incidence of repetition than private schools, indicating concerns regarding the educational quality in pubic schools. In addition, longer distance to school increases the chances of repetition among primary pupils, when controlling other factors. Thus, further interventions are necessary to support socio-economically disadvantaged households, especially to cover the opportunity cost of girls and to further improve the education system.</p>
