OBS

C'est l'instruction qui est obligatoire et non la scolarité, puisque les familles peuvent, sous certaines conditions, se substituer à l'école. Il convient de ne pas utiliser dans ce sens le terme scolarité obligatoire qui renvoie à l'obligation qu'ont les pouvoirs publics d'organiser la scolarité.
