Annotation

This study surveys language-in-education policy evolution between 1999 and 2010 in the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste. It is suggested that the admission of agency at both macro- and micro-planes will play a crucial role in supporting and upholding the national languages in East Timorese education.
