Is learning another language an important as math science or literature?

Yes it is. Learning another language gives you insights into the way people in other countries and cultures see things because language is always a reflection of the society it is used in. You may never move out of your own country, but in a globalized world, you could meet people from other cultures even in your own home town. Even if you can't speak their particular language, having a knowledge of a different language could help you to understand them better and perhaps help them to integrate better. Another aspect is that learning another language can help you to understand your own language better. You cannot learn another language without learning something about the mechanics of grammar and syntax. Teaching of grammar went out of fashion in English-speaking countries a while ago and is now being reintroduced. Many people only begin to understand the structure and possibilities of their own language when they begin to learn another language.

Why are many students not academically successful?

It starts with having a good grasp of the basics, and having this as early on as possible. There are many reasons, socially, politically and personally why some students do not or cannot get a strong basic start, but whatever the reason if this doesn't happen, then attempts to jump into the system at various points later on become more and more difficult. Students in the US for whom English is a second language sometimes have difficulty learning English not because they are not intelligent, but because they never learned the basics of their native language to begin with. We usually assume in the US that when one is learning any language, the basic and general concepts of language and grammar are already known to the student. This is not always the case. Imagine the nightmare of learning the sentence structure, nouns, verbs, and tenses of a foreign language when you have nothing in your experience of language to help you understand what those things are.
