2021

The chapter provides a comprehensive analysis of the development of policies on minority languages in Ukraine’s educational system, and in public debate, from 1991 to the present, combining legal analysis with the analysis of media discourses. Finding high politicization of the language-in-education issue in Ukraine, it maps key trajectories for the future course of Ukraine’s policies as to language in education.
