Court strengthens right to Islamic instruction – what Mallorca now must organize in practice

Answer

Do public schools in Mallorca have to offer Islamic instruction near a student’s home?

The ruling strengthens the right of families to request Islamic instruction in a public school close to home. That does not mean every school must offer it immediately, but it does mean the education authorities in Mallorca need to organize access in a fair and practical way. For families, the key point is that distance alone should not make the right difficult to use.
