To this end, the Government has initiated, by means of an order, the procedurefor amending the Decree on the Standardization of the Use of the Euskera in the Basque Public Sector (Decree 19/2024). "We have made changes to the Order so that these new linguistic profiles can be accredited by any citizen in the HABE examination calls."

Free
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.
"The main objective of the free program is to make learning the Basque language easier and accessible to all (...) For the Government, learning the Basque language is strategic in order to make the leap in the use of the Basque language, so we will continue to guarantee, expand and help the learning of the Basque language," he explained.
