Basque: The Basque Language in Education in Spain. 3rd Edition. Regional Dossiers Series
Gardner, Nick, Comp.
Mercator European Research Centre on Multilingualism and Language Learning
This regional dossier aims to provide a concise description of the European minority language, Basque or "Euskara" in Spain, in education. Aspects that are addressed include features of the education system, recent educational policies, main actors, legal arrangements and support structures, as well as quantitative aspects such as the number of schools, teachers, pupils, and financial investments. The dossiers serve several purposes and are relevant for policymakers, researchers, teachers, students and journalists who wish to explore developments in minority language schooling in Europe. They can also serve as a first orientation towards further research, or function as a source of ideas for improving educational provisions. Every regional dossier begins with an introduction about the region concerned, followed by six sections that each deal with a specific level of the education system (e.g. primary education). Sections eight and nine cover the main lines of research into education of the concerned minority language, the prospects for the minority language in general and for education in particular. The tenth section (optional) gives a summary of statistics. Lists of regulations, publications and useful addresses concerning the minority language, are given at the end of the dossier. [The dossier was updated in 2019 by Ines-MÂȘ Garcia-Azkoaga and Maite Garcia-Ruiz, unless otherwise stated academic data refer to the 2018-2019 school year. For the second edition, see ED535414.]
