May 23 marked the 40th anniversary of the launch of the Diwan school in Brittany. The first classroom that was opened in the village of Lampaul-Ploudalmézeau was made up of five students. 4,242 are currently operating in 54 schools: 47 mother schools, six 1st grade schools, six colleges and one high school. For the 2018-2019 academic year, the second Liceo will be opened in the town of Vannes.

Forty years ago, students were the children of Breton speaking families, whereas today, 90% of students speak French as their mother tongue.

Diwan has its own contract with the French National Education for the regulation and management of teaching. In addition, the General Council of the Region of Brittany provides assistance in the amount of EUR 1 million per year.

The Vice-President of the General Council and responsible for the Breton language, Lena Louarne, says on the radio France Bleu Amorique that the implementation of the Diwan school took into account the model of the Seaska School of the Northern Basque Country.
