Growth of bilingual workforce.

GROWTH OF BILINGUAL WORKFORCE. A study by the private consulting firm COFINSA says Honduras has 42,000 people ages 18-35 who are bilingual and have completed secondary education studies, preparing them for positions with call centers. Bilingual Education for Central America (BECA), a grassroots, non-profit organization that promotes affordable bilingual education in Central America, has begun forming community partnerships to build a network of low-cost schools in Honduras. Government also is supporting increased bilingual education via the Community-Based Education Project funded by the World Bank.
