 as follows:
   1.  Driver  education.  Notwithstanding  any  other provisions of this
 article, a class D or class M license, whichever is appropriate, may  be
 issued  to a minor seventeen years of age who has successfully completed
 a driver education course approved by the state education department and
 the commissioner in a high school or college and who has submitted proof
 of completion of the minimum hours of supervised driving as required  in
 paragraph  (d)  of  subdivision  two of section five hundred two of this
 article; PROVIDED HOWEVER, THE YESHIVA OF STATEN ISLAND, WHICH  OPERATES
 AS  A  HIGH  SCHOOL,  MAY PROVIDE DRIVER EDUCATION COURSES AT THE ARTHUR
 KILL ROAD JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER OF STATEN ISLAND AND  THE  MANOR  ROAD
 JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER OF STATEN ISLAND, LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF RICH-
 MOND.   No such driver education course may be approved unless classroom
 training is provided by a person approved by the state education depart-
 ment and the commissioner.  However, a school district may contract with
 one or more licensed drivers' schools to provide behind the wheel train-
 ing, pursuant  to  regulations  promulgated  by  the  commissioner.  The
 commissioner  shall  prescribe  the  requirements  for licensing of such
 minors. A student enrolled in such an approved driver  education  course
 may  operate  a  motor  vehicle  without holding a driver's license or a
 learner's permit while under the immediate supervision of an  instructor
 in  such  course  or  a  driver's school instructor providing behind the
 wheel training in such a course, provided such operation is  in  accord-
 ance  with  the rules established by the commissioner. Every student who
 successfully completes such course in a day, evening  or  summer  school
