09 January 1730,

The City of Beasain banned the use of Euskera at school. In the contract with the village teacher, it was decided to punish the children who spoke in Basque in the classroom “as was due”, also noting the practice of the ring. The clause reads: “Eta ez zaitut Basquenze hitz egin, Castile-anulo, eta Castiganoles justuren bat.” Beasain is the first documented reference that punishes the use of Euskera in school.
