-===== About the Aragonese language =====
-Aragonese is a language that belongs to the Romance branch of the Indo-European language family.  The Aragonese language has suffered a secular decline and progressive substitution by Spanish in almost the entire Aragon territory since the 15th century. Currently, Aragonese is spoken in the northern area of Aragon (the Pyrenean area) and the language is fragmented into several dialects that are closely related to each other.

-===== Speaker number trends =====
-=== Current status ===
-In the 2011 Censo de Población y Viviendas (Population and Housing Census), the Government of Aragon included several questions regarding the knowledge and use of native languages (Aragonese or Catalan) (cf table 1). It is noteworthy that, according to the census’ answers, there are as many as 8,618 speakers of Aragonese residing in the metropolitan area of Zaragoza which, despite the fact that it is not part of the linguistic area of Aragonese, is home to many families that moved from that area as well as to a number of new Aragonese speakers (source: Government of Aragon, 2011; Seminario Aragonés de Socialingüística, 2015).

-===== Preschool education =====
-=== Current status ===
-At the pre-school level, language is included in one of the three wider learning areas defined in the curriculum: “Language: Communication and Representation”. The other two learning areas are: “Self-knowledge and personal autonomy” and “Knowledge of the environment” (Order which approves the curriculum of infant education).
-In the description of the area for the first cycle, the curriculum states that in the areas where Aragonese or Catalan are spoken alongside with Spanish, those languages will be used as a medium of communication and will receive a similar treatment as Spanish. In the second cycle, a similar statement is included, but the use of the language as an instrument of communication must be done according to a project designed in the educational centre. This use of the regional languages has been offered in the second cycle curriculum since 2008.
-However, practically speaking, the language of instruction is Spanish in all cases, as no bilingual project has been proposed by schools. Some primary schools which include the second cycle of pre-school education, have Aragonese lessons, given by the same teachers as in primary education. Each school can regulate these lessons by themselves. There are schools where all the children have to take Aragonese as a compulsory subject, for example in the schools in Echo, Ansó, Torla, Broto, Fiscal, Boltanya (Boltaña), Bielsa, A Espunya (Laspuña), Chistén (Gistaín), Sant Chuan de Plan (San Juan de Plan), Sarabillo, Plan, Biescas, Pandicosa (Panticosa), Tramacastilla, Sallén (Sallent), Senegüé, Candarenas (Caldearenas). Besides, there are schools where it is offered as a voluntary subject during regular class hours (CEIP Monte Oroel, Jaca) and there are schools where it is offered as a voluntary subject after school (CEIP San Juan de la Peña, Jaca). Furthermore, there are schools where Aragonese is offered in primary education but not in pre-primary education (CEIP Asunción Pañart Montaner, Aínsa). Finally, there are schools where Aragonese is a compulsory subject during the pre-school period, but it is voluntary (e.g. Boltaña, Torla, Fiscal and Broto) or not available during primary education (e.g. Biescas, Panticosa, Tramacastilla and Sallent).  Class time ranges from 30 minutes to one hour and 45 min per week.

-===== Primary education =====
-=== Current status ===
-== Legislation ==
-Primary education is regulated by the LOE (2006) and the LOMCE (2013). The application of the provisions of the LOMCE and the new curricula started in the academic year 2014/2015 for the first, third and fifth grades of primary education and progressively could attain all levels. According to the law, the purpose of primary education is to educate students in speaking, listening, reading, writing, numeracy, acquisition of basic cultural concepts, the habit of living together as well as of studying and working, artistic sense, creativity and affectivity. These aims are there in order to ensure that pupils receive a comprehensive education that contributes to the full development of their personality and prepares them to take full use of the compulsory secondary education (LOMCE, 2013, Title I, chapter II, Article 16).
-== Practice ==
-Although Aragonese could theoretically be the language of instruction, according to the primary education curriculum of Aragon, no school has exercised this option. in contrast to two schools in the Catalan-speaking areas of Aragon, where science is taught using the Catalan language as the medium of instruction.
-Since the application of the new primary education model in 2014/2015, Aragonese is a full part of the curriculum and can be offered as an elective examinational subject within the portion of school time freely allotted by each individual school board (to at most one hour and a half per week). However all the schools where Aragonese is taught, have decided up to now to keep it as a non-examination subject outside school hours. Thus, students receive Aragonese between 30 minutes and 2 hours per week, often concerning one hour in most schools.
