The recommendations provided here will assist SDOT, DPD, policymakers, and community stakeholders enhance the health- and equity-promoting aspects of this project.

To stay competitive in this changing environment, the US must prioritize world languages education for all. Less than 20 percent of Americans are fluent in more than one language, and the current educational approach is inadequate to increase bilingualism to the level needed for global commerce and national security. A national world languages education policy is essential to incentivize world language education starting early and continuing through compulsory education. Funding should be allocated for teacher training and teaching assessments to ensure quality and effectiveness. Promising approaches, such as dual language immersion education and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, have been successful; however, a sustained and national world language education policy is essential for building a multilingual society.
