Even after controlling for a rich set of individual, family, and school traits, we find that madrasa graduates differ on attitudes associated with issues such as working mothers, desired fertility, and higher education for girls, when compared to their secular schooled peers. On the other hand, madrasa education is associated with attitudes that are still conducive to democracy. We also find that exposure to female and younger teacher is associated with more favorable attitudes among graduates. 2012-03-30T07:29:27Z 2012-03-30T07:29:27Z 2010 Journal Article World Development 0305750X http://hdl.handle.net/10986/4731 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article Bangladesh
