Inicios da galeguización do ensino (1963-1977)

Abstract

This article wants to offer an overview regarding the steps taken by the Galician Civil Agents and Institutions in order to introduce the Galician language into the education. Between 1963 and 1977 the Cultural Associations offered courses for adult people and the Galician Language was introduced into the University of Santiago de Compostela, but there were still difficulties in order to set the studies of the language both in the compulsory education and at the Bachelor´s degree Studies. The Galician Royal Academy (Real Academia Galega) started its negotiations, as well as the Euskaltzaindia and the Institut d´Estudis Catalans did, with the Ministry of Education and Science. The General Act of Education (1970) brings the possibility of introducing those of the languages different than Spanish into the teaching, however it will not be until the executive order 1433/1975 that this matter would be more developed. This fact means a great step forward, even though it will not satisfy the expectations and there will be more claims during the following years.
