Administration Education Midi-Pyrénées

The Rectorat de Toulouse is responsible for implementing the educational policy defined by the government, in partnership with the communes for primary education, the Conseils Généraux for collèges and the region for lycées. More than 60,000 pupils in the Académie de Toulouse benefit from Occitan language teaching, from awareness-raising to bilingual education. Occitan is taught at the Université Jean Jaurès et Paul Sabatier in Toulouse and at the INSPE in Toulouse.

The Montpellier academy covers Aude, Gard, Hérault, Lozère and Pyrénées Orientales. The other departments of the Occitanie region are managed by the Académie de Toulouse. The Montpellier academy is pursuing a dynamic policy to promote Catalan and Occitan, in partnership with the OPLO and OPLC. To increase the number of speakers and encourage the teaching of Occitan and Catalan, it has signed two agreements with local authorities.
