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

Answer

Will children in Mallorca have to travel far for Islamic classes at school?

That depends on how the education authorities organize the offer. The ruling highlights that long journeys should not become the norm simply because a school is small or the number of students is limited. In Mallorca, regional coordination or shared teachers between nearby schools may be part of the solution.
