You will find three videos of different students, where you can observe the supports and points of view of them, according to the following statement and question, provided by the course:

STATEMENT:

Particularly (Spanish-English bilingualism) has been privileged. This is seen as providing access to a highly ’visible’, socially-accepted form of bilingualism, leading to the possibility ofemployment in the global market-place. In contrast, bilingualism in minority Amerindian or Creole languages has been generally undervalued and associated with an `invisible` form of bilingualism related to underdevelopment, poverty and backwardness. 

QUESTION:

The question we can ask, how far bilingual education programs for majority language speakers in Colombia today are actively helping towards the creation of a more understanding, amore tolerant society and not only providing a way to better jobs and a higher standard of living for their graduates?
