Nowadays there are two main fields were significative normalization
actions are taken: One is that of schools and the other is the university.
The area of normalization of greatest significance and impact is that of education. The
young generation are the key to the learning, practice and extension of a minorized
language since it is they who will pave the way for the future.
Actions were designed basically around the directives given in the Law for Linguistic
Normalization and subsequent regulations. The field of education, although the Spanish
language is still predominant in schools, has undergone great qualitative changes. The
Galician language had been absent from the history of teaching and is now existent in all
schools. The measures taken centre basically on the fact that the teaching of the Galician
language and literature is now compulsory at all levels of education except at university.
