Bilingual education, where students learn in two languages, is gaining popularity globally. This article explores the multifaceted effects of bilingual education on cognitive and language development, examining both its benefits and challenges.

The intricate connection between language acquisition and cognitive development in bilingual children will be investigated, highlighting the interplay between linguistic and cognitive processes. The article delves into various models of bilingual education, discussing their strengths and weaknesses.
