The results indicate that there is a significant difference betweenstudents who are under BEP and those who are in a non-bilingual program (NBP).Furthermore, they reveal that students in BEP perform better in both tasks andlanguages thereby supporting previous studies on bilingual education or immersionprograms. Nevertheless, there are other factors and stakeholders that must be consideredin order to have an over-all picture whether BEP indeed is effective. It is hope that fromthis study, more schools will offer BEP as a program for all secondary studentsconsidering the many benefits it can offer to them.
