The Constitution includes human rights guarantees, but not the right to education.
But, see:
Chapter II - Protection of fundamental rights and freedoms
Art.11 - Protection of freedom of conscience
(1) Except with his own consent, a person shall not be hindered in the enjoyment of his freedom of conscience, including (…)
freedom, either alone or in community with others, and both in public and in private, to manifest and propagate his religion or belief in (…) teaching, (…).
(2) Except with his own consent (…), a person attending any place of education (…) shall not be required to receive religious instruction (…) if that instruction (…) relates to a religion that is not his own.
Every religious community shall be entitled, at its own expense, to establish and maintain places of education and to manage any place of education which it wholly maintains; and such a community shall not be prevented from providing religious instruction for persons of that community in the course of any education that it wholly maintains or in the course of any education that it otherwise provides.
