| Teaching material | The availability and quality of Frisian teaching material is good. |
| Remarks |
Sometimes it is hard to use the language consistently. It is necessary to make good arrangements with the pupils on when to use which language. This is done for example by speaking Dutch in the mornings and Frisian in the afternoon, or by dividing languages among teachers: one speaks Frisian and the other Dutch.
