- dPrivate schools under contract with the StateDes écoles privées sous contrat avec l’ÉtatCorrect answer
Why?
According to the law of 1905, the Republic does not recognise, pay the salaries of or subsidise any religion (Alsace and Moselle keep a special regime). However, the State can fund private schools, even religious ones, that have signed a contract with it and follow the national curriculum. It can also maintain the religious buildings that belong to it.
