- | Educational establishments offer Asturian only as a subject. There have been some promising experiments with Asturian as medium of instruction ((Fernández-Costales, A., & González-Riaño, X. A. (n.d.). Asturian: The Asturian language in education in Spain 2nd Edition (Mercator Regional Dossiers ISSN: 1570-1239). [[http://www.mercator-research.eu/fileadmin/mercator/dossiers_pdf/Asturian_in_Spain_2nd.pdf|View online]])) | + | |
+ | ====Primary education==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Asturian is taught as a voluntary subject, but is not used as language of instruction, for two one hour classes a week. Almost 65% of pupils attend the voluntary Asturian language classes ((Fernández-Costales, Alberto, and Xosé Antón González-Riaño, ‘[[https://www.mercator-research.eu/fileadmin/mercator/documents/regional_dossiers/asturian_in_spain_2nd.pdf|Asturian: The Asturian Language in Education in Spain 2nd Edition]]’, ed. by Mercator European Research Centre on Multilingualism and Language Learning, Mercator Regional Dossiers)). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Secondary education==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In secondary education, Asturian is a optional subject, but not all schools offer it. Normally, Asturian is not used as language of instruction, but there are some teacher experiments((Fernández-Costales, Alberto, and Xosé Antón González-Riaño, ‘[[https://www.mercator-research.eu/fileadmin/mercator/documents/regional_dossiers/asturian_in_spain_2nd.pdf|Asturian: The Asturian Language in Education in Spain 2nd Edition]]’, ed. by Mercator European Research Centre on Multilingualism and Language Learning, Mercator Regional Dossiers)). | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Vocational education ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | A small number of //Bachillerato// (Baccalaureate; two year education (16-18 years) to provide access for university) institutes offer Asturian as a subject. Around 3% of students took Asturian as a subject in 2013((Fernández-Costales, Alberto, and Xosé Antón González-Riaño, ‘[[https://www.mercator-research.eu/fileadmin/mercator/documents/regional_dossiers/asturian_in_spain_2nd.pdf|Asturian: The Asturian Language in Education in Spain 2nd Edition]]’, ed. by Mercator European Research Centre on Multilingualism and Language Learning, Mercator Regional Dossiers)). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Higher education ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The University of Oviedo (the only in the Principality of Asturias) students can use Asturian according to the //Llei d’Usu y promoción del Bable/Asturianu//. | ||
+ | At the teacher training for primary education, students can take up a two year minor Asturian which includes subjects such as Asturian philology, literature, sociolinguistics, and language teaching. Future secondary school teachers can choose the Asturian specialisation in the master's degree((Fernández-Costales, Alberto, and Xosé Antón González-Riaño, ‘[[https://www.mercator-research.eu/fileadmin/mercator/documents/regional_dossiers/asturian_in_spain_2nd.pdf|Asturian: The Asturian Language in Education in Spain 2nd Edition]]’, ed. by Mercator European Research Centre on Multilingualism and Language Learning, Mercator Regional Dossiers)). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Adult education ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Classes for Asturian is limited, though some courses have Asturian as language of instruction((Fernández-Costales, Alberto, and Xosé Antón González-Riaño, ‘[[https://www.mercator-research.eu/fileadmin/mercator/documents/regional_dossiers/asturian_in_spain_2nd.pdf|Asturian: The Asturian Language in Education in Spain 2nd Edition]]’, ed. by Mercator European Research Centre on Multilingualism and Language Learning, Mercator Regional Dossiers)). | ||
