Preferred term

Hispanic population growth  

Definition

  • Pressures to adopt bilingual education occurred during a period in which the growth of the Latino or Hispanic population had begun to accelerate markedly. The growing influence of Latino political and civil rights leaders was influential both in the passage of the Bilingual Education Act in 1968 and in subsequent reauthorizations of that legislation.
