Multilingual Education Act.
In 1998, voters in California passed Proposition 227, a ballot measure that banned bilingual education and mandated English immersion for English learner students. This November, voters in the state will decide on the Multilingual Education Act, a new ballot initiative that would change Proposition 227’s English immersion requirement and expand bilingual education for English learner students. Education analysts comment on this new project.
Guests: Dr. Patricia Gándara, Research Professor, Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, Co-director of the Civil Rights Project, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA; María Quezada, i3 Project Director, California Association for Bilingual Education, Covina, CA.
