Explanation

Article 28 distinguishes between four types of educational institutions. In institutions wholly maintained by the State (Article 28(1)), religious instruction is completely and absolutely prohibited. In institutions administered by the State but established under a trust, religious instruction is permitted. In institutions recognized by the State or receiving aid, religious instruction is permitted on a voluntary basis (requires consent of the individual or guardian if minor).
