This regional regulation obliges Muslim school children to attend Madrasah Diniyah Awaliyah, which is a non-formal educational stream that makes provision for Islamic religious education for a term of four years at primary level (art 5). The regulation states that this requirement is based on the Pancasila ('five principles' - Indonesian state ideology) and the 1945 Constitution (art 2), and that it will meet societal needs by supplementing the Islamic education of students who attend public schools (art 3).
