With the bags on their backs, 52,000 students from the Atlantic Pyrenees will return to schools this Monday, half of them in the Northern Basque Country and 13% of them in the Seaska immersion model.

The school in Samatze , Baja Navarra, will teach Gascon to children.

The head of language policy, Antton Kurutxarri, has explained that they will have three hours a week: "Our peculiarity is that there are two minority languages, Euskera and Gascon, and this is how this project has been born in the village of Samatze, dedicating three hours a week to the school."

The French Ministry of Education has also introduced some innovations, so that mental health will take its place in schools, where one in five students are in trouble, and artificial intelligence will also be incorporated into schools and lycées, providing training for students and teachers.

The demographic decline will also be a challenge in the new course, with the closure of classrooms in some schools and the lack of teachers forcing the completion of classes for every 35 students.
