It highlights the challenges these students face, including achievement gaps in academic performance, graduation rates, and college readiness. The bill emphasizes the need for specialized instructional support for English learners and the benefits of culturally responsive education. It also notes the historical significance of New Mexico being the first state to enact laws aimed at promoting educational equity and bilingual proficiency.
