Abstract: Education is a basic fundamental individual right, enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Convention on the Constitutional Rights of the Child. These treaties determine the entitlement of free, obligatory primary education for all children. The present study was conducted to an empirical analysis of factors influencing low rate enrollment in primary education in rural areas. It was a descriptive survey research design study. The population of the study was all the public primary schools located in the rural areas of district Sargodha. A multistage sampling technique was used to select the sample of the study. At the first stage, purposive sampling technique was used to select the primary level public schools, at the second stage, through convenient sampling technique, two hundred primary level schools, heads and teachers were selected. For the gathering of data and information, the researcher developed two comprehensive standardized questionnaires that contained fifty statements. The researcher personally approached to respondents for the collection of data through face to face interview. Pilot testing of the instrument was also conducted. Validity was determined through an expert's opinion and reliability through Cronbach Alpha. The quantitative data were analyzed through SPSS 21. The empirical finding shows parental poverty, illiteracy, unawareness of educational importance, unemployment and migration are the main factors influencing the low rate enrollment in rural areas. Besides the affirmative effect a number of the distinctiveness of individuals, there are several stronger qualitative factors such as socio-cultural and socioeconomic. The government should offer financial support for parents to encourage them to send their children to school this may help in improving the low rate enrollment in primary schooling in rural areas. Some legislative measures should also be implemented to make it necessary for all the parents to complete the primary school education of their children.
