I want students to be able to search YouTube for educational videos in their home language. For example, if a Dutch student wants to search for a Dutch video on Napoleon, a dutch result will probably not end up in the top 5 search results. Is their a way around this? I see that it is not possible to filter for language or region on Youtube and the YouTube V3 APIs also don't allow for this either (This is not an API question) but maybe some of you have come up with creative work-arounds?

It seems not possible to do what you want. The blog cited in the other answer states search commands that don't work today (e.g., Apple, this week returns videos from 3 years ago).
There is an API reference showing how you could do it with GET, and there's an advanced search that also modifies the URL.
It's possible to do what you want, but not how you want to do it.
Attack this from the outside.
Use Google's filtering capabilities.
For example, let's say I wanted to search for videos by user "MyAbridged" posted in August, 2012.
I search for myabridged site:youtube.com to get videos by that user.
Then click Search Tools and you will see Any Time come up as an option.
Finally, click Any Time, choose Custom Range, and select the time frame you want to restrict your search to.
Complete your search and you now have all the videos posted by that user in that time frame.
Example search: myabridged site:youtube.com between Aug 1, 2012 and Aug 31, 2012
Note that this search technically searches for any pages within Youtube that mention the name "MyAbridged" anywhere in the page, so it will actually return back more than just their videos, but it will get you where you need to go
