Barbados Government Committed To Bilingualism

The Barbados Government remains committed to its 2030 target to give every Barbadian under the age of 18 an opportunity to be bilingual.

Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley reiterated this commitment recently, when Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba, Bruno Rodriguez Parilla, who was on a one-day official visit, paid her a courtesy call at her official residence, Ilaro Court.

Ms. Mottley said exposure to a foreign language would help young Barbadians to see the entire hemisphere as the territory where they could work and live.

She stated that Government was willing to receive assistance in the teaching of Spanish.

She also stated that Barbados and Cuba had maintained strong relations, pointing out that they faced many common challenges.
