Education and universities

The Plataforma per la Llengua seeks to work from civil society and in collaboration with the administration to help to design actions that guarantee the presence of Catalan in all educational areas, which we regard as vital to consolidate the learning and the use of Catalan among young people.

This organisation works to ensure that Catalan, the common language, is the vehicular language of teaching at all levels. We want Catalan language to be the normal vehicle of expression in administrative activities and interaction in all centres, internal and external.

Another one of our objectives is to work to make knowledge of Catalan a requirement that is observed in universities in order to be able to teach in the Catalan-Speaking Countries. In the case of the Valencian Community we work to ensure that lines and classes in Catalan are observed in all areas of education.
