French Minister of Education supporting the Portuguese language
The French Minister of Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer, has described the Portuguese language as “magnificent” and promises to support its development in France.
“The Portuguese language is a very important language all over the world […] It is also important in France, not only because there are a lot of French people of Portuguese origin, but also because we have a lot of relations with Portugal and it is a magnificent language, with a very beautiful literature, therefore we are very supportive of the development of the Portuguese language, âthe minister said in statements to Lusa.
For the minister, learning foreign languages ââin France has been a constant concern, being singled out as an Achilles heel for students and the French workforce.
The government official has promised to set up the Superior Council of Languages ââin France by the end of the year, whose mission will be to improve language learning in France and Portuguese will be one of the target languages .
“We have a long-term project to set up a Higher Council for Languages ââand we are attentive to the development of certain languages ââin France and the Portuguese language is part of these efforts”, guaranteed the Minister.
