 ====== Education in practice ======
-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))
+====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)).
