Mother tongue as language choice In the later years of compulsory school, your child may have the right to mother tongue instruction as part of their language choice. Your school will inform you about which languages you can choose from.

If your child meets the requirements for mother tongue instruction, the student can study his or her mother tongue as their language choice.

National minority languages as mother tongues within the framework forlanguage choice National minority languages must always be offered as language choice. Mother tongue instruction in a national minority language can also take place outside the regular timetabled time if the student and parent wish to use the language choice to study one of the modern languages.

The national minority languages are Yiddish, Finnish, Meänkieli, Sami (different varieties) and Romani chib (different varieties).
