This report reviews international research to reveal how national education systems can better support multilingualism in their schools. It tries to answer the following questions:

• How is multilingualism understood in different contexts and what are the main challenges and opportunities involved in promoting multilingualism in schools?
• What specific education policies and practices appear to be inclusive approaches promoting multilingualism and continuity of language learning
• What is the role of different stakeholders in supporting multilingualism at individual and societal level?
• What key recommendations can be made that can serve as important (first) steps to improve present policies and ensure that they are linguistically and culturally sensitive?

The study highlights a number of key findings, outlines some policy implications and puts forward several policy recommendations.
