Chapter 1, section 10 (1), of the Constitution states: “Except with his own consent, a person shall not be hindered in the enjoyment of his freedom of expression, including freedom to hold opinions without interference, freedom to communicate ideas and information without interference, and freedom from interference with his correspondence.” Section 19 of the Education Act II of 1997 states that a “student may express any religious, political, moral or other belief or opinion so long as the expression does not adversely affect the rights or education of other students, or the rights of other persons in the educational institution.” The Dominica child has certain available avenues that encourage dialogue and free expression.
L'article 19 de la loi 11 de 1997 sur l'éducation dispose qu'un élève peut manifester sa religion ou ses convictions politiques, morales ou autres dans la mesure où elles ne sont pas préjudiciables aux droits ou à l'éducation des autres élèves, ou aux droits des autres membres de l'établissement.
