PREDUNIVERZITETSKA KOSOVSKA JEZIČKA POLITIKA
KOSOVO'S PRE-UNIVERSITY LANGUAGE'S POLICY

Summary/Abstract: Pre-University Language's policy, as a part of the educational system in Kosovo, is integrated in close to 1200 public schools. As Albanian citizens are the most numerous, Albanian is the most represented in the system, but not the only one. Bosnian and Turkish languages are a part of several municipalities and dozens of public schools. While Rom students, mostly, attend classes in Albanian and Bosnian. Serbian as a language in Kosovo can be viewed as a language outside of the system, since students and teachers of Serbian nationality are outside the legal framework of the Kosovo language and education policy, and follow instructions from Serbia. By examining attitudes on language policy, there was evidence that Albanian respondents consider Albanian as a well-represented language in Kosovo and that minority languages have good rights. While respondents of national minorities believe that Albanian is expected to have good rights, while their languages do not have such great rights.
