The Importance of Providing Education in the Mother Tongue for the Exercise of Minority Rights: National and International Examples

Summary/Abstract: The Importance of Providing Education in the Mother Tongue for the Exercise of Minority Rights: National and International Examples Ensuring education in the mother tongue is of paramount importance for the survival of a national minority. For this reason, the legal principles governing this issue are laid down in numerous international documents, which are implemented with varying degrees of effectiveness in the legislation of individual countries. A political approach to the issue of national rights does not generally promote the legislative process towards the full guarantee and observance of the rights of national minorities, as demonstrated by the Ukrainian legislation discussed in this study. A legal analysis from the perspective of the Hungarians in Transcarpathia highlights the inconsistencies in the regulations adopted in recent years on the education and use of the mother tongue of minorities, the resulting problems of legal interpretation, and the current state of their resolution. In this regard, a reversal has created a sense of transience in the area of minority rights in education. Accordingly, members of national minorities whose mother tongue is an official language of the European Union can receive all primary and secondary education in their mother tongue. At the same time, stability and a political change that respects the rights of national minorities in the long term remain only a hope for the Hungarian community in Transcarpathia.
