Regional Dossiers

The Regional Dossiers focus on the educational system in European regions that have an autochthonous lesser-used language, and on how the lesser-used language is embedded in this system. The Regional dossiers are written according to a fixed structure, so that they can be used for comparative research.

The dossiers provide information on:

  • educational statistics, such as number of bilingual schools, percentage of children learning the lesser-used language, language skills of teachers, etc.
  • policies regarding education of the lesser-used language
  • the structure of the educational system in the area
  • speakers numbers of the lesser-used language
  • institutions supporting the lesser-used language.
