16-Feb-18 TV News: 'Language system in Catalan schools under threat'

The Spanish education minister confirmed today plans to introduce Spanish as a working language in schools. Catalan has been the official language used in classrooms since the restoration of democracy, and the model has the consensus of the education community. This controversial move by Madrid comes just as the Spanish Constitutional Court has denied the possibility of giving positive discrimination to the Aranese language, spoken by less than 10,000 people in the northwestern corner of Catalonia. / ACN
