The Mercator European Research Centre on Multilingualism and Language Learning uses the following definition for these languages, as stated in the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (ECRML):  \nRegional and minority languages are languages traditionally used within a given territory of a state by nationals of that state who form a group numerically smaller than the rest of the state’s population; they are different from the official language(s) of that state, and they include neither dialects of the official language(s) of the state nor the languages of migrants.  \nThe Mercator European Research Centre aims to acquire, apply, and circulate knowledge about these regional and minority languages in education. An important means to achieve this goal is the Regional Dossier series: documents that provide the most essential features of the education system of regions with a lesser-used regional or minority language.  \naim The aim of the Regional Dossier series is to provide a concise  \ndescription of minority languages in education, mainly in Europe but also in other parts of the world. Aspects that are addressed include features of the education system, recent educational policies, main actors, legal arrangements and support structures, as well as quantitative aspects such as the number of schools, teachers, and pupils, and financial investments. Because of this fixed structure, the dossiers in the series are easy to compare.  \ntarget group The dossiers serve several purposes and are relevant for policymakers, researchers, teachers, students, and journalists who wish to explore developments in minority language schooling in Europe. They can also serve as a first orientation towards  \nfurther research, or function as a source of ideas for improving educational provisions.  \nEducation and lesser used languages  \nlink with Eurydice  \ncontents  \nThe format of the Regional Dossiers follows the format of Eurydice—the information network on education in Europe—in order to link the regional descriptions with those of national education systems. Eurydice provides information on the administration and structure of national education systems in the member states of the European Union.  \nEvery Regional Dossier begins with an introduction about the region in question, fol","cbCaivmJwLObm7EH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivmJwLObm7EH","pdf",1515310,76,"English","# Foreword\n# Education and lesser used languages\n## Link with Eurydice\n# Contents\n## List of Abbreviations\n## 1 Introduction\n## 2 Pre school education\n## 3 Primary education\n## 4 Secondary education\n## 5 Vocational education\n## 6 Higher education\n## 7 Adult education\n## 8 Educational research\n## 9 Prospects\n## 10 Summary of statistics\n## Education system in Latvia\n## References and further reading\n## Addresses\n## Other websites on minority languages\n## About the Mercator European Research Centre\n## Available in this series","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Regional Dossier series?\",\"answer\":\"The series aims to provide a concise description of minority languages in education, addressing education-system features, policies, key actors, legal arrangements, support structures, and quantitative indicators such as schools, teachers, pupils, and financial investments.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the dossier define regional and minority languages?\",\"answer\":\"It uses the definition from the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (ECRML), describing languages traditionally used within a territory by a smaller national group, different from the official language(s), and excluding official-language dialects and migrant languages.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is the target audience for the dossier?\",\"answer\":\"The dossiers are relevant for policymakers, researchers, teachers, students, and journalists interested in developments in minority language schooling in Europe, and they can also guide further research or improvement of educational provisions.\"}]","The Latgalian language in education in Latvia - 2nd Edition | PDF",1792055694,192]
