“State and municipal establishments of teaching and education shall be secular. At the request of parents, they shall provide religious instruction. Non-state establishments of teaching and education may be founded according to the procedure established by law. Schools of higher education shall be granted autonomy. The State shall supervise the activities of establishments of teaching and education.”
State and municipal establishments of teaching and education are secular, but at the request of parents they provide religious instruction. Non-state establishments of teaching and education may be founded according to the procedure set by law. Schools of higher education are granted autonomy, and the State supervises the activities of all establishments of teaching and education.
In a state school, parents choose each year whether their child attends religion or ethics classes, and universities decide on their own study programmes and internal rules because they have autonomy.
Questions ask what state and municipal teaching establishments are (secular), at whose request religious instruction is provided (parents) and who is granted autonomy (schools of higher education).
