In this study, the language policies implemented in the State of Espírito Santo, specifically in the municipality of Santa Maria de Jetibá, with the purpose of valuing and maintaining the Pomeranian language and culture, are presented and discussed. With the support of some available references about the educational context of the Pomeranian children, a historical presentation is offered, followed by an analysis of the consequences of the implementation of the Program of Pomeranian School Education - the Proepo in the state, which introduces the Portuguese-Pomeranian bilingual education in this municipality. It is argued that the Proepo is recognised as important for the immigration language valorization, bringing many benefits mainly for the school-age children living in rural areas. However, it is known that the Proepo needs to move forward and that other measures for the appreciation of the Pomeranian language should be taken in order to ensure the permanence of the language for future generations.
