Bilingual Education

The need of families for better economic opportunities and better education for their children cause the mobility of population. Sometimes it is from one country to another. Other times it is from rural areas to urban ones. The migration of population brings challenges to large communities. One of them is in the educational system.
Children enter schools where they are taught in a different language than their mother tongue language. There are two alternatives for these children. One is a bilingual education which is very expensive but has the advantage of a child speaking and writing in two languages since childhood. The other one is full immersion which might bring a delay in the learning process of the child.
