Its impact will be felt when the kid get into higher education level. Dr. David Freeman, Professor of Curriculum and Instruction, and Dr. Yvonne Freeman, Professor of Bilingual Education from U.S.A, reveals the result of bilingual education system which preferring to use foreign language in the school. According to Freeman, mastering foreign language is important, but it is also important to do not disregard the mother language, in this case is Indonesian language.

For the kids who initially use mother language (English) as their first education, has higher academic level than other kids who initially use foreign language as their first education. In realizing the important of mother language than English, Dual Language program considered as the solution of the academicals problem that would be faced in the future. Dual Language Program refer to additive program, it is a program that harmonizing the use of mother language and foreign language. It relates closely to the formation of the concept of the early academic children.

However, it will come out different for the kids who are not strong in mother language's academic concept, they are not able to have strong academic in both language.

Thereby, kids would understand the concept in Indonesia or English. The ability of using Indonesian language are also trained. Till now, High/Scope Indonesia School is the first school in Indonesia that use the Dual Language program. According to Antarina, this program has been carried out over the past two years, but the result is still yet to be seen. "Most schools are trying to run this program and fail for those who couldn't patient in the test Dual Language in school. It takes patience, because the results may be seen just four years later, depending on each child, "said Antarina.
