Demographics of Andorra
From Includipedia, the inclusionist encyclopedia
Andorrans are a minority in their own country; Spanish, French, and Portuguese residents make the up 67.7% of the population.
The national language is Catalan, a romance language related to the Western Romance group. It is spoken by more than 9 million people in the nearer territories. Spanish and French also are spoken.
Andorrans live in seven urbanized valleys that form Andorra's political districts the seven parròquies (parishes):
Education law requires school attendance for children up to age 16. A system of French, Spanish and Andorran lay schools provide education up to the secondary level. Schools are built and maintained by Andorran authorities, but teachers are paid for the most part by France or Spain. About 50% of Andorran children attend the French primary schools, and the rest attend Spanish or Andorran schools. In July 1997, the Andorran Government passed a law on universities and shortly afterward, the University of Andorra was established. Neither the geographically complex country nor the number of students makes it possible for the University of Andorra to develop a full academic program, and it serves principally as a center for virtual studies, connected to Spanish and French universities. The only two graduate schools in Andorra are the Nursing School and the School of Computer Science.
