Language as a Factor for Enrolment in Schools with Slovene
as a Language of Instruction in Italy
The article provides insights into the role of language as a determining fac-
tor in enrolment in schools with Slovenian as the language of instruction in
Italy. Drawing upon a secondary analysis of data from an extensive corpus
of research conducted by the Slovenian Research Institute, the author delves
into the pivotal role of language in school enrolment decisions and examines
the factorsinfluencing student retention asthey progressthrough subsequent
levels of education. The author investigates the motivations behind opting for
schools with Slovene as the language of instruction and subsequent educa-
tional transitions to schools with Italian as the language of instruction. The
author concludes that schools cannot effectively evolve if they solely retain
students from Slovene-speaking families. Consequently, the author advocates
for either the development of alternative models for multilingual education or
for a more concerted effort to successfully address pupil retention.
