In a recent consultation regarding the teaching language in schools, Valenciano secured a narrow victory. Fifty point five three percent of parents voted for Valenciano, compared to forty nine point four seven percent who favored Castellano. The consultation, part of the new Education Freedom Law, attracted participation from fifty eight point six one percent of families, which the Education Department considers a significant achievement.

Regional differences were prominent, with Valenciano winning in the provinces of Valencia and Castellón, where it received fifty seven point eight four percent and seventy point five zero percent of votes respectively. Conversely, Castellano was the majority choice in Alicante, receiving sixty five point eight nine percent of votes.

Moreover, the results indicate that most students will have the opportunity to be educated in their preferred language. However, in areas where Castellano is predominantly spoken, students will not be required to study Valenciano. In these regions, the second language instruction must not exceed twenty percent of the total teaching time.

Notably, some advocacy groups for Valenciano education, along with the political party Compromís, have challenged the consultation results in court. They argue for a stronger emphasis on Valenciano in the educational system amidst the ongoing debate about language policy in the region.
