 ====== Education of the language ======
 ===== History of language education: =====
-Mirandese was until very late a language transmitted at home from generation to generation. Only in the eighties did the necessity to teach the language in school become pressing, also as a way to revitalize Mirandese. For this reason, in 1982 a petition by the management body of the Secondary School of Miranda do Douro was brought forward to the Ministry of Education, which requested permission to implement an optional course of Mirandese. This petition was denied by the Ministry with the justification that, legally, courses which were unfamiliar to the curricula taught in the whole country could not be introduced anywhere ((Abílio Domingos Raposo, 'Ansino de l mirandés', in //Estudos mirandeses: balanço e orientações. Homenagem a António Maria Mourinho//, ed. by José Francisco Meirinhos (Estarreja: Riagráfica, 1999), pp. 99-107.)). Only in 1985 was it approved that a weekly, two-hour, optional course of Mirandese for the 5th and 6th grades be implemented in the region of Miranda do Douro ((Abílio Domingos Raposo, 'Ansino de l mirandés', in //Estudos mirandeses: balanço e orientações. Homenagem a António Maria Mourinho//, ed. by José Francisco Meirinhos (Estarreja: Riagráfica, 1999), pp. 99-107.)) and thus 1986/1987 were the first academic years in which Mirandese was taught at the Elementary School of Miranda do Douro ((Amadeu Ferreira, //O Mínimo sobre a língua mirandesa// (2010), <http://studosmirandeses.blogs.sapo.pt/1294.html> [accessed 14 November 2017])).
