In the Basque Country there are currently more than
140,000 people with accredited qualifications that
certify their knowledge of Euskara (Basque Language
). These qualifications have been issued by a
number of official bodies dependent on the Basque G
overnment, but had not been validated against each
other until recently.
In order to validate these qualifications and adapt
them to the Common European Framework of
Reference for Languages, a group of experts were co
mmissioned by the Basque Government to undertake
a study conducive to this end. This paper outlines
the methodology and conclusions of that study
