Abstract
Omitted from the preceding discussion was the tendency for LP agencies to incorporate work on education, the media and culture. Education has tended to be seen as the means whereby language group production and reproduction proceeds. Within the modern state, education has two goals; labour market integration and the ideological aspect of citizen production. As such it is the means of generating reason among the citizenry. Relating minority languages and education implies accepting their relevance for reason and for the labour market.
