Tenerife’s language policy achievement rate (60%) is higher than the city sample’s rate of 47% and the Spanish average (43%).Tenerife has thus been positioned in the first and second tertiles respectively among the 29 cities with a population of over 200,000 inhabitants and the 24 cities with a foreign-born population of 15% or more.
Tenerife provides a number of opportunities to learn Spanish and migrant/minority languages alike, especially through specialised training at the Official Language School and La Laguna University. It is positive that the Island Council supports projects seeking to give a positive image of migrant/minority languages. We invite Tenerife to pursue its efforts in the area.
