What is Bilingual Education

Bilingual education teaches students in two languages, typically their native and second languages. The aim is to make students fluent in both. This approach offers cognitive, academic, and cultural advantages. Programs can vary, with some dividing time equally between languages. Others gradually transition students from one language to the other. Bilingual education is especially beneficial for students who speak a different language, enhancing their academic performance and language skills in both languages fostering a rich and inclusive learning environment.
