Impact of Preschool Programmes

In a study undertaken at Duke University, North Carolina, researchers highlight the benefits of preschool programmes, revealing that children who attended one of two state-run preschool programmes were less likely to be placed in special education in the third grade (Year 4) compared to children who did not. This not only helps the children but also alleviates expensive special education costs.
