25 news schools to teach Breton Language



Of the total 17 new open sites they are in primary and 8 in the second degree. Of the first, a total of seventeen are on the public network. This expansion of the offer more than in the past is the result of a gradual institutionalization of the opening procedures:


- creation of the OPLB (Public Office for the Breton Language) in 2010,


- Adoption in 2013 of the School Reconstruction Law that provides that bilingual education should be promoted "(article L 312-10 of the Education Code)


- signature of the 2015-2020 State-Region Agreement, which resulted in the implementation of a biannual development plan for the openings of programs in the public.

The Roazhon Academy has 16 openings in the first degree. 15 additional public schools have a bilingual line: 5 in Morbihan (Auray, a second place in Hennebont, Questembert, Lanvaudan, Locmiquélic), 4 in Finistère (a second place in Quimper, Pleyben, RPI Ploudiry-La Martyre, Saint-Divy) , 3 in Ille-et-Vilaine (Dinard, Pleumeleuc, Orgères) and 3 in the Côtes d'Armor (Lamballe-Armor, a second place in Lannion, Pledran). A Catholic school also has a bilingual line (Hennebont, again a second place). At the Naoned Academy, the public network has opened one in Blain.

In secondary school seven additional schools have a bilingual flow. These are 4 public schools (Baud, Hennebont, Plouneour-Menez, Rostrenen) and 3 Catholic schools (Quimper, Muzillac, Pontivy). The Catholic high school of Guingamp has also opened a bilingual class.
