"This study aims to describe the actual state of the art of trilingual primary schooling in a number of multilingual regions in Europe in the first decade of the 21st century. This study is essentially an update of the study which reflected the situation at the turn of the century (Beetsma 2002). Around 10 years later, a renewed study with a double function seemed necessary: an updated version of the previous study and a guide towards new developments in terms of language planning and educational practices. In addition, this present study wants to define some relevant areas and topics of study in the field of multilingual education that should be put on the research agenda of the next decade." (p. 7)
