Many Costa Ricans speak English. Is the language of instruction there English, or Spanish? Or some mixture of the two? RobertAustin 12:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

The language of instruction is Spanish. Many CostaRicans speak English, but it is indeed a foreign language. There has been some confusion internationally, because so many of us can communicate with English speaking foreigners due precisely to the "education in Costa Rica". I hope my additions to the article help give an answer to the question of how this came to be. Carlvincent 01:47, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Well, this proves it!

How come the Castro-lovers never talk about Costa Rica's education system? Is it because that Costa Rica is able to have an excellent public education system without having to enslave the entire population under communist rule, because the implication of the Castro-lovers is to make it appear that excellent public education, and communist rule, cannot be seperated from one another. 134.74.74.34 15:35, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
