Early schooling matters most for children | Education | guardian.co.uk

Early schooling matters most for children | Education | guardian.co.uk: "Attending a good pre-school and primary has more impact on children's academic progress than their gender or family background, researchers claimed today.

The Institute of Education study found that the quality of teaching children receive is more important than their gender or family income.

A high quality pre-school followed by an academically effective primary school gives children's development a significant boost, the researchers found."


Sure the above must be vaguely related to early childhood development... link to report contained in the main Guardian article.
