Featured Research » Education Policy and Minority Languages in Eastern & Central Europe

This is a detailed study of the legal and language policy provisions for the education of minorities in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine. A project team of national officials and outside experts was set up in each participating state, and prepared a separate state report. The final report of the project, incorporating all state reports, is being prepared by Prof. Pádraig Ó Riagáin, Trinity College, Dublin and Prof. William Bowring, Birkbeck College, London.

The project is part of the Council of Europe’s Action Plan titled ‘Partnerships for Educational Renewal’. The project began in 2003 and will conclude in the autumn of 2006.
