what happens with orthodox jews and sikhs?


I don`t about the Sikhs but the Jews or anybody
else can form private schools under contract
with the state. There are a number of Jewish
schools like this and they can do anything
they want in the school, except if they
are under contract they have to teach an
approved curriculum.

That does not prevent them from ALSO teaching

Few Islamic schools are under contract with the
state since they don`t want to also teach the
state approved curriculum. But there are a few.
