 ==== European legislation on minority language education ====
-On the 5th of November in 1992, the Netherlands signed the [[https://www.coe.int/en/web/conventions/full-list?module=declarations-by-treaty&numSte=148&codeNature=10&codePays=NET|European Charter of Regional and Minority languages]]. They ratified it almost 4 years later, on the 2nd of May in 1996. It was only less than 2 years later since the legislation was put into action. Specifically, this took place on the 1st of March in 1998. However, there is no explicit mention of the Netherlands providing protection under the charter to Polish. This is because, since 1992 the Charter defines a minority language as a language that is traditionally used within a given territory of a State by nationals of that State who form a group numerically smaller than the rest of the State's population, and a language that is different from the official language(s) of that State.

 Similarly, under the [[https://www.coe.int/en/web/minorities/netherlands|Framework Convention on the Protection of National Minorities]], there are no policies that directly provide protection for the Polish language.
