Biden-Harris Administration Launches “Being Bilingual is a Superpower” to
Promote Multilingual Education for a Diverse Workforce

As part of its Raise the Bar: Create Pathways for Global Engagement, the
Biden-Harris Administration today launched “Being Bilingual is a
Superpower,” an initiative by the U.S. Department of Education (Department)
to promote multilingual education and bolster high-quality language
programs and a diverse multilingual educator workforce across the country.

"Being Bilingual is a Superpower” will promote and further the
understanding of bilingualism and biliteracy as an educational and economic
imperative for student success, global competitiveness, and engagement. The
new initiative under the Department's Office of English Language
Acquisition (OELA) seeks to promote research-based bilingual educational
opportunities and language instruction in early learning education settings
and beyond.
