The Future of Bilingual Education" tells the story of the formation and development of bilingual education in US public schools through the experience of parents and teachers. In the book, the author describes in detail the process of creating the first bilingual programs by parents and teachers in public schools. The initiators of bilingual education, mothers and fathers, teachers and school directors, believe in the invaluable benefits of bilingual education for children, schools, society and the country. Although attempts to introduce bilingual education in the United States began in the 17th century, it was only in recent years that the US school system gradually began to recognize the importance of maturing the linguistic and cultural heritage of the national communities living in the country. Considering the global competition in the economy and in the labor market, education of bilingual personalities, preserving a sense of belonging to a particular culture, people through language skills will be the key to success for our citizens. New York is a platform for parents to fight to get the right to open bilingual programs in public schools, from kindergarten to high school. Similar programs have appeared in hundreds of cities throughout the United States and around the world. The book "Bilingual Revolution. A History of Education in Bilinguals" tells about the successes and failures of parents and educators through stories that carry practical advice.
