Public Agenda
January 2003
In this new report, Public Agenda presents the results of a survey of over 1,000 foreign-born adults now living in the United States. It documents immigrants' views on a variety of topics, including education: 73% said that students should be taught English as quickly as possible, even if that means falling behind in other subjects, and 62% said that all public school classes should be taught in English. (Support for English immersion in public schools among immigrants closely mirrored support for this policy among the general public.) To browse more education results, please see http://publicagenda.org/specials/immigration/immigration4.htm. A full copy of the report can also be downloaded from the website http://publicagenda.org/ (registration required) until February 11, or can be ordered for $10, plus $2 shipping and handling.
