Bengoetxea has made another announcement: A2 will extend the free learning of the Basque language to the next course. "The Government will continue the free policies implemented in previous courses in 2025-2026, for which it will allocate 4.86 million euros, 52.9% more than last year".
In the next course, students at basic levels A1-A2 and young people between the ages of 16 and 18 who wish to improve their communication skills at level C1 will have free tuition for the course.
