This study attempts to explore the traits of the families having the likelihood of migration for
children's education. It found that the parents' level of educational expectations for their children, the
father's educational attainment level, and household income are the most influential factors in making
families show different tendency toward sending children abroad at the early age or emigrating with
them for the sake of their education. Also, the children, who are more concerned about their
academic achievement; have a greater aspiration for their future; and enjoy an ampler array of
cultural capital, appear to have the higher probability of being sent abroad for study. Finally, when
parents are discontent with the schools their children are attending and/or when mother has little
communication problems in foreign countries, it is more likely that families decide to migrate
overseas for children's education.
