 ====== Education of the language ======
 ===== History of language education: =====
-Please describe the history of the language's presence in:
-  * the country's school system;
-  * published, broadcasted, or online learning resources.
 Between 1900 and 1945, there was an influx of Polish migrants. Up to 6000 Poles came to work in the mines in the province of Limburg ((Kroon, Sjaak, Jinling Li, and Agnieszka Dreef. (2023). Netherlands: Teachers’ Perspectives and Practices in Chinese and Polish Language and Culture Teaching, in To Be a Minority Teacher in a Foreign Culture. Springer Cham. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-25584-7)). In 1990, another influx of Polish migrants occured, leading to about 120,000 people with a Polish background by 2017 ((Dreef, A. (2018). From policy to practice: Polish language management at the Polish School in Tilburg, The Netherlands. MA thesis, Tilburg University)). The Polish school was established in 1994 in Tilburg, and its classes take place on Saturday morning every 2 weeks. The classes are attended by chilren from exclusively Polish speaking and Polish-Dutch families.
