Strategy Page: Fewer parents sending their sons to madrassahs
2011-08-25
In both Afghanistan and Pakistan, parents don't like their sons being turned into religious fanatics and suicide bombers.
So the 'higher education bubble' has hit Pakistain?
No, this would be the lower education bubble. Madrassahs substitute for primary and secondary education. Admittedly, one reason children are sent to madrassahs is because the jihadis blow up the state schools and kill the state teachers...
