Astonishment and disappointment in orthodox Antwerp: constitutional court refused to instruct the Ministry of Education to grant an extension to implement compulsory education of core curriculum in Haredi educational institutions in Antwerp.
Published last week in Antwerp senior functionaries reported that the Constitutional Court in Brussels gave rejection of one and a half years to implement the Ministry of Education policy regarding the core curriculum studies. Comes to the regulation requires all children between the ages of Education to study secular subjects that are not taught at Chassidim cheders and yeshiva ketanas.
According to Belgian Ministry of Education regulations each child who attends public school must pass a comprehensive exam at the end of the year on secular studies. If the child did not pass the test he is given an option to pass the test again. If the child does not pass the two tests the Ministry of Education requires parents to register their child in public school. A child who may not stabilize for the tests the Attorney General may order the removal of the child from his parents' custody.
Hearing held last week in Brussels Constitutional Court, three lawyers represented the ultra-Orthodox institutions, while there was a representative of the Ministry of Education and Moshe Aryeh Friedman.
The judge closed the discussion by saying that the discussion phase is over and the verdict will be given soon. The judge refused to grant the lawyers to instruct the Ministry of Education to postpone the implementation of the Ministry of Education policy.
In a letter sent on Friday, by Ms. Tamara Kristens to Moshe Aryeh Friedman says, "We want to confirm this new regulations on homeschooling and new education law insist and stand in place. On this law there is no change in position; delay is out of the question, and there is no general agenda to reject it. "
Under this provision all children enrolled in unrecognized schools will have to register for government exams until Rosh Chodesh Sivan. Children who will not register for tests, their names will be transferred to court, which by law gives authorities the law to remove children from their parents.
Antwerp activists tried to calm the public and publicized in the orthodox media that the Constitutional Court ordered the Ministry of Education to postpone the execution. Things reached the ears of the Belgian Ministry of Education and they were quick to send an unequivocal clarification stating that the decree still stands.
