Description : This paper addresses the intergeneration transmission of education and investigates the extent to which early school leaving (at under age 16) may be due to variations in permanent income, parental education levels, and their age in Sit Pin Kwin village. The correlation coefficient of parents’ education and age on job opportunities of the village have a fairly degree of convergence (r =0.304, p < 0.01) as found in the study. The principle direct impact parents’ educational attainment and age had on their job opportunities was a positive correlation between parents’ educational attainment and their age. The correlation coefficient of parents’ education and their children’s education of Sit Pin Kwin village have a weakly degree (r = 0.03, p < 0.01) as found in the study. They are positive correlation. This paper indicates that parents’ education effects remain significant even when parents’ age is included on their job opportunities.
