-Educational establishments offer Asturian ​only as a subject. ​There have been some promising ​experiments ​with Asturian as medium ​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))+

 +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)).
