Governor’s Weekly Message: Preparing Youth for the Global Economy

(Wilmington, DE) – In his weekly message, Governor Markell highlights ongoing efforts to prepare Delaware students for the global economy through the expansion of the state’s World Language Immersion Programs.

“More than 800 of our youngest students can talk about their school day in more than one language. By next year more than 1500 will be able to do so,” said Governor Markell. “By giving students the chance to start language training early, we’ll help them make the most of their talents, and we’ll keep Delaware moving forward.”

Every week, the Governor’s office releases a new Weekly Message in video, audio, and transcript form. The message is available on:
