Dear all,
Bilingual Education Alliance (BEA, www.beaschools.com) is organising a Forum for the leaders of bilingual schools operating in England.
There are just a few schools in England where curriculum is implemented in 2/3 languages.
This is the link to the Invitation for heads/governors/deputy heads of such schools or departments -
BEA is advocating for schools with bilingual curricula.
Parents and all other professionals interested in bilingual development and bilingual education can join our mailing list.
Many thanks
Maria

Latvia? Interesting. I know the situation in the Baltic states well - I am originally from Estonia and has been working in bilingual education in England for the past 30 years. BEA is trying to promote the (huge!) benefits of bilingual curricula schools for all children.
Bilingual education (schools with immersion curricula) is still very very heavy going in this country and few new schools have closed down or changed profile once again in the past few years. But, bilingual education model - beyond doubt - is one of the most effective educational model for many families and communities round the world and would be hugely beneficial for the country - on many levels.
I am personally (in re to your comment) is a strong believer in the not-profit philosophy in education and arts.
