Bilingual education programs have grown significantly. A decade ago, only a few hundred public schools offered such programs, but now over 1,000 do. Despite this expansion, schools face challenges in finding and keeping teachers.
Officials aim to increase the number of public schools with bilingual education to 1,600 by 2030. This goal seeks to address the high demand from parents who want their children to benefit from bilingualism and academic support for languages spoken at home.
Further information on the efforts to meet this demand and the challenges faced by schools is available from the source.
