| Abstract | This article documents patterns of take-up of traditional religious and primary school education in Chefchaouen, one of the most disadvantaged provinces in Morocco located in the impoverished northwestern region of the country. First, the author provides some background on the socioeconomic and cultural characteristics of the province of Chefchaouen, including the growing role of cannabis production in the local economy, as well as the significant heritage of traditional Muslim education. Next, he examines contemporary patterns of take-up of Qur'anic education in Morocco, highlighting (a) the disarticulation of the traditional system of Islamic education, the gradual integration of the post-elementary levels of learning, and the marginalization of the elementary levels of the "kuttab," as well as (b) how the difference between modern and traditional "kuttab" is generally overlooked, and thus a population of learners (7+ years of age) participating in traditional "kuttab" remain statistically "invisible" and consequently excluded from conventional analyses. Then, he explores how Qur'anic education functions as an alternative to public schooling, satisfying the demand of poorer rural households, which cannot bear the direct and indirect costs of schooling or whose children are pushed/pulled out the schooling system as a result of academic failure. Subsequently, he discusses the impact of the expansion of cannabis production on social demand for education in Chefchaouen and the way in which increased opportunities for child work to supplement family income is increasing the indirect costs of schooling, particularly at the level of the lower secondary cycle. Finally, he reconsiders the issue of resistance in education within the context of rapid social change, focusing on the negative perceptions of public school teachers and the declining perceived utility of public schooling among members of certain rural communities.
