What changed

The Basque Country approved a new general education law that updates and reorganises the non-university education system across the autonomous community. It establishes the principles of the Basque education system, school organisation, rights and duties of students and families, and reinforces the use of Basque (Euskera) in teaching.

Who is affected

Affects students, families, teachers, and educational centres (public and state-subsidised private) at all non-university levels in the Basque Country. The Basque Government's Department of Education is responsible for implementation.

What to look out for

→ Schools and teachers must adapt their educational and organisational projects to meet the law's new requirements. Families can review the changes to participation rights and school choice in the text of the law.
