Roger T. Garland
Ceist:25 Mr. Garland asked the Minister for Education if his attention has been drawn to the fact that (1) in every other EC country at least some schools teach Esperanto, while it is extensively taught in former Iron Curtain countries including Romania and Albania where it is now taught and (2) that in many countries it is taught as a university subject, while it specifically helps qualify for university entry in Chile and Brazil; if he will outline the number of schools here where Esperanto is taught; if he will consider making Esperanto a curricula subject; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
