Assessing the Implementation and Impact of a Bilingual Education Program in a Diverse Urban District

Abstract

This study explores the implementation and impact of bilingual education programs in a diverse urban district, with a special focus on Indian universities. The research highlights the growing interest in bilingualism and multilingualism across the globe and its implications for education, mobility and cultural preservation. It reviews the policy framework, particularly the NEP 2020, which emphasizes multilingual education in India and examines global studies on the effectiveness of bilingual programs. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study aims to analyze academic performance, language proficiency, student demographics, program types and educational settings. Findings are expected to inform policymakers and educators about best practices in bilingual education and address gaps in current research, especially in the Indian context.
