Dutch and the school edit

“Dutch was not taught at school at that time”. The fact is that, in the 19th century and in the beginning of the 20th in Belgium, secondary school and university were only accessed by the middle classes and above, and only in French. Of course, in Flanders (in the broad sense, Dutch speaking part of Belgium), for the working class and the peasants, there was primary school in Dutch, not French. --Dominique Meeùs (talk) 20:51, 15 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
