Minority Language Education

Minority language education involves teaching children in languages spoken by smaller groups within a country or region, alongside the mainstream language. Its goal is to preserve and promote these languages, which are often at risk of decline. Such programs can include bilingual or immersion classes, allowing students to become proficient in both their minority language and the dominant language. This approach supports cultural identity, diversity, and linguistic rights, ensuring that minority communities maintain their linguistic heritage while gaining access to broader societal opportunities.
