Ban on religious and philosophical symbols in education

23/04/2026
In brief

At school, everyone must be able to learn in a calm and impartial setting. The reform strengthens neutrality by introducing common rules, including neutral appearance for staff and a clear framework for addressing sensitive topics objectively. The result: an environment protected from outside influence, where pupils can confidently develop their critical thinking.
