Some limited Breton is taught in French schools. Diwan schools were founded in the late 1970s and teach elementary levels through Breton total immersion and teach primary and secondary levels bilingually with Breton and French. Since the 1980s there have been state options for bilingual education, including Breton. Catholic Dihun schools also teach Breton.
