In Bali’s local communities, many children barely get the chance to learn English, a skill now essential for any future in the island’s tourism economy. Most kids receive only 30 minutes of English instruction per week, if that. For children growing up in areas outside the main tourist zones, the reality is stark—without regular English practice, they’re left struggling to keep up, excluded from the opportunities that come with speaking the language.
While children in tourist hotspots can pick up conversational English naturally, those in more isolated areas don’t have this exposure. This lack of language skills holds them back, creating a cycle where their limited English keeps them out of the very jobs that could uplift their families. In these local societies, children grow up watching opportunities pass them by, aware of the barriers that prevent them from building a secure future.
Educate Bali are stepping in to address this urgent need. By creating consistent English learning programs and focusing on communities often left behind, Educate Bali is working to give these children the chance to break free from the language barrier—opening doors that lead to meaningful work, dignity, and hope for a brighter future.
