This year marks the 50th anniversary of the seminal Lau vs. Nichols Supreme Court case, recognizing the need for English language instruction equality. Multilingual students are still underserved in California and nationally, emphasizing the importance of bilingual education.
Research demonstrates that multilingual students in bilingual education outperform their peers in English-only programs academically, with higher English proficiency, motivation for higher education, reduced dropout rates, and better socio-emotional outcomes. Bilingual education creates an inclusive school environment and benefits even English-speaking students.
