creating an educational frameworkTwo is Better Than One: Exploring Bilingual Education, Its Barriers, and the Link to Higher Education

Recently, refugees and immigrants have been surrounded by a lot of negative rhetoric in the media and politics. A lot of negative stereotypes exist that portray them as lazy or coming to reap the benefits of a country while not earning them. These false stereotypes are compounded by harmful policies such as the travel ban, Senate Bill 4, and most recently the repeal of DACA. Education is one of the main ways for refugees and immigrants to escape these stereotypes; however, a lot students are restricted by school systems, which mainly cater to native English speakers and do not allow bilingual students to reach their full potential.

Thus, our ASB group will be going to the Rio Grande Valley on the Texas side of the Texas-Mexico border to learn about the public education system through the perspective of refugee and immigrant students. We will be examining educational barriers while focusing on the lack of bilingual resources that can prevent students from getting to higher education. We will be working with community partners, such as the Edinburg Housing Authority and the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, along with directly interacting with bilingual students to fully understand the needs of the community.

Our goal is to create a sustainable service-learning trip so that we can create a meaningful relationship with the students and community members in the Rio Grande Valley. We want to make sure they know there’s a connection between them and higher education.
