Students from Seaska take to the National Assembly the proclamation of the Basque bass
Seaska students with Brittany.
At a time when end-of-year exams are getting closer and closer, two students from Seaska have taken the proclamationto the National Assembly in Paris to be able to perform the bass in Basque.
The young people of the French Basque Country and Brittany are in the same situation: they can study in Basque, but they are obliged to do the bass (final baccalaureate exam) in French. Seaska students and the Diwan network in Brittany have expressed their point of view at a hearing in Paris, invited by MPs Peio Dufau and Paul Molac.
Etxeverri Lopep has said that the fact that the exams are conducted in French is contrary to their nature.
On January 12, Edouard Geffray met with the Minister of Educationof France, a representative of the Basque Country, to discuss the possibility of taking exams in Basque. At that time they were optimistic because the minister had promised them to submit a proposal for April.
Today, however, Peio Dufau, EH Bai's deputy, has denounced that Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu's government has not given "any signal" since then, so he has warned that "they will continue to fight."
