A child may receive instruction in a public or private school or at home.
But if the parents wish him to be taught in a private school they must give notice to the mayor of the commune of their intention and the school chosen.
If educated at home, the child (after two years of the compulsory period has expired) must undergo a yearly examination, and if it is unsatisfactory the parents will be compelled to send him to a public or private school.
