This article considers the link between the “Malam”, the Koranic scholar, and the trade of the written word, i.e. the relationship between knowledge and the market. The fieldwork, conducted in the North-Eastern Region of Ghana, focused on the development during the two last decades of a new type of institution: the English-Arabic Schools. Appeading to an unsatisfied demand for education, these schools have been attracting Muslim children. These institutions are created under the private initiative of Mallamaï, acting as private entrepreneur. The involvment from State is minimal. But their number is increasing and they remain prosperous. The phenomenon leads to a critical appraisal of the combination of the private and the public sectors in the sphere of education
