There are multiple benefits to being multilingual, multiliterate, and multicultural in today’s global society. Knowing more than one language from birth, acquiring a new language through school, or learning languages later in life, can provide tangible advantages in many areas.

The U.S. Department of Education's "Raise the Bar" initiative aims to provide every student with a pathway to multilingualism, while ensuring equitable access to a high-quality education for English learners.
