Abstract	In recent years India has seen an explosion in low-fee private (LFP) schooling aimed at the poorer strata of society. This marketisation of primary education is a reaction to the well-documented failings of the government system. This paper looks at LFP schooling in one rural district of Uttar Pradesh, and compares government to low cost private schools in this area. It explores whether LFPs are affordable to the rural poor and marginalised by examining the key factors in parental decision making and ultimately discovering whether equity considerations are served. CREATE's zones of exclusion model is appended. (Contains 17 footnotes, 23 tables, and 1 figure.) (As Provided).
