Today I came across this article on a UK website:

Languages – Gift of bilingualism is too often ‘squandered’

Some quotes:

[Professor Joseph Lo Bianco, of the University of Melbourne] who advised the Australian government on its languages policy, said it was of “critical importance” that education systems across the world fostered a “multilingual mentality”, with bilingual children being given a strong role to play.

Academics have suggested that there are as many bilingual children in the world as there are monolinguals.

And here I thought the French public school system had problems…

Will they ever learn?
