Abstract	This article uses established data sources, as well as data collected by the authors themselves for a broader study on education enrollment in Pakistan, to examine the size and importance of the religious education sector in Pakistan. Methodologically, this study analyzes madrasa enrollment in a school-choice framework that is well known to empirical economists dealing with issues of poverty and school quality in developing countries. This approach allows the authors to evaluate various popularly proposed theories of how madrasas fit into the overall educational decision of households. Here, they discuss the data on madrasa enrollment, and examine the variations in the madrasa enrollment across districts and time. (Contains 3 tables, 3 figures and 43 footnotes.) (ERIC).
