Euromosaic - Basque in CAV (Spain) The legal framework governing the status and use of the Basque language is defined by the Spanish Constitution of 1978 and by the Basque Autonomy Statute of 1979. At the University of the Basque Country (Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea), for instance, 39% of the compulsory courses are taught in Basque. Basque is most commonly spoken within the family circle, and the further a speaker is from the family environment the less he uses Basque, with the exception of certain formal situations (dealings with administrative bodies, for example). www.uoc.edu /euromosaic/web/document/basc/an/i1/i1.html   (2367 words)

EUSKADI NEWS September 2001 Ibarretxe, will be respect for all the agreements adopted by Basque society, among them the Statute of Autonomy and the right to self-determination approved by absolute majority in the Basque Parliament in 1990. The ceremony was attended by representatives of social, cultural, church and trade union organisations and also by members of all the political forces in the Basque Country with the exception of the Partido Popular, which declined to participate in the conference. Ibarretxe insisted on the need to separate the peace and normalisation process from the objective that ETA should not be the reference for solving the political conflict and the problem of peaceful co-existence in the Basque Country, a conflict that, in his opinion, should be sorted out through political and social dialogue. www.seattleeuskal.org /euskadi_news_sept_2001.htm   (2367 words)

Arachne @ Rutgers - Volume 2, Number 2 - Bilingual Education in the Basque Country This act outlines the general planning guidelines that will be followed by governmental institutions in the BAC to guarantee the co-official status previously granted to Basque by the Statute of Autonomy. 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. 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. www.scc.rutgers.edu /arachne/vol2_2amorrortu.htm   (2367 words)

Euskadi.net: Lehendakari The 2nd Republic granted the region a Statute of Autonomy that led to the creation of the first Basque Government and the election of the first President of the autonomous community of the Basque Country, Jose Antonio Aguirre, a leader of the PNV, the Basque nationalist party. Former Basque regional minister for Justice & Culture Jesús Maria Leizaola was named as President of the Basque Government in exile after Aguirre’s death in 1960. However, neither Aguirre nor his first Basque Government had much time to govern, largely because the Spanish Civil War broke out, their efforts being mostly devoted to fighting the faction that had rebelled against the 2nd Republic. www.lehendakari.euskadi.net /r57-563/en/contenidos/informacion/predecesores/en_3919/predecesores.html   (79 words)
