What is a major benefit of the Bilingual programs established after Lau vs. Nichols?

Improving health services for students
Enhancing language proficiency among students
Increasing school funding
Reducing the number of school dropouts

The correct answer is: Enhancing language proficiency among students

The establishment of bilingual programs after the Lau vs. Nichols decision primarily aimed to address language barriers faced by non-English speaking students. The Supreme Court ruling emphasized that schools must provide adequate language assistance to ensure that English learners have equal access to education. By implementing these bilingual programs, schools provide instruction in both the students' native language and English, which significantly enhances their overall language proficiency. This dual approach not only helps students understand the academic content more effectively but also allows them to develop better communication skills in both languages, thereby improving their chances for academic success and fostering inclusivity in the classroom.
