Up to 10 schools in the Balearic Islands can teach Islamic religion from the next course. The Government and the Islamic Commission of Spain on the islands have signed a collaboration agreement to articulate the conditions under which this subject will be developed in publicly funded centers.

Under this agreement, both parties will work with the objective that "in the 2020/21 academic year , classes of Islamic religion may be taught in a maximum number of 10 educational centers held with public funds." In accordance with the budgetary possibilities each year, the number of teaching centers may be expanded to cover the demand for this education.

The Department of Education and University has reported that the objective is "objective conditions" by which parents or guardians of students "can exercise the right they have for their children to receive the teaching of the Islamic religion, provided that they decide it by virtue of their own convictions. "

The Minister of Education, University and Research, Martí March, and the delegate of the Islamic Commission of Spain in the Balearic Islands, Mahfouz Salim Abu Mahfouz, have signed the aforementioned collaboration agreement, in application of the State Cooperation Agreement with the Commission Islamic of Spain.

In this way, the Balearic Islands would join other Autonomous Communities such as Andalusia, Madrid and the Valencian Community, among others, where Islamic religion classes are already taught in public schools.
