Abstract
This chapter summarizes the risks consequences of starting multilingual education. The chapter shows that the peripheries have something to offer the centre particularly in the current period of unprecedented change on all fronts. Significant advances in MLE have in fact been made in Africa, South Asia, Latin America and within marginalised communities in North America, and Europe.-
