-The ARBUT program, instituted in 2000, provides classes in Piedmontese language and culture to pupils in participating schools (usually primary, sometimes secondary). Generally these classes run for two hours per week. Nòstre Rèis, one of the organisations supporting the program, writes that the courses include learning to read and write in Piedmontese,​ speaking the language, reading literary and contemporary texts, and in some cases using Piedmontese as a medium of instruction for other subjects. From 2000, each year 150-200 ARBUT courses were organized across the province, with approximately 1500-2000 students participating. Since the regional government cut funding for the program in 2011, it is unclear how many schools and pupils participate in ARBUT.(([[http://​www.nostereis.org/​corsi_per_le_scuole.html|Corsi per le scuole.

 Clearly, the place of Piedmontese in education is very limited, and this has had a negative impact on the vitality of the language. In Piedmont, the local language is often considered a code to be used by older people, and rarely spoken to children. Wider use of Piedmontese in education could help to change attitudes in the community and promote the idea that Piedmontese is a living language, suitable for both young and old.((Claudia Soria (2017). "​Speakers'​ attitudes on Piedmontese:​ A case for vitality re-assessment",​ in Delyn Day, Poia Rewi, Rawinia Higgins (eds.), "The Journeys of Besieged Languages"​.
