	Arachne @ Rutgers - Volume 2, Number 2 - Bilingual Education in the Basque Country (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Basque society expects the younger generations to guarantee Basque language maintenance and the primary education system to teach it to monolingual children and produce an increasing number of balanced bilinguals.

		The Basque case is often described as a success, given the remarkable increase in the number of bilingual speakers in the younger generations and the wider presence of Basque in status-stressing situations.
