2. Any institution wishing to be recognized as a youth protection school shall apply therefor to the Minister. The latter may order an investigation as to the conditions of salubrity and regulations of the school and the competence of the personnel, in order to determine if it is fit to receive the children who may be entrusted to it.
If the report of the investigation is deemed favourable, the Gouvernement, upon the recommendation of the Minister, may recognize the institution as a youth protection school.
