Many states allow the teaching of Koranic or Biblical knowledge in primary and secondary schools; however, in almost all states with religious minorities, there are reports that students are forced to take classes that violate their religious principles.
State authorities claim that students are permitted to decline to attend these classes or to request a teacher of their own religion to provide alternative instruction.
