Albuquerque Public Schools is partnering with Dual Language Education of New Mexico to create a program that would essentially align an elementary school with its middle school and its high school to make sure students get a bilingual education from pre-k to high school.

The language generates 16 per cent of GDP and 3.5 million jobs in Spain. Vargas Llosa urges speakers to care for the language because “without it our life would have been much poorer.” This Monday the King affirmed that “our language constitutes an immense cultural treasure, and also an extraordinary source of economic wealth” and added that “our language is as much of a strategic asset as are natural resources.”

BURLINGTON — What started out as West View Elementary School classmates drawing comic strips has evolved into something more — the school’s own monthly newspaper, with a twist. Because West View is a dual-language school, the newspaper — the Bobcat Gazette — is printed in both English and Spanish.

In today's globally interconnected world, if you don't understand at least one of these phrases, you're at a distinct disadvantage. We as Floridians recognize this fact. We want to ensure our students' future success and advocate that our public schools implement and augment their dual-language offerings.
