Nursery World - EPPE/EPPSE PROJECT on early education

The EPPE/EPPSE Project has released new findings. Kathy Sylva,
Brenda Taggart, Edward Melhuish, Pam Sammons and Iram Siraj explain.

On 9 September the latest report from the Effective Pre-school, Primary and Secondary Education Project (EPPSE 3-16+) was launched by the new Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Childcare and Education, Sam Gyimah. The report, entitled Students' Educational and Developmental Outcomes at Age 16, focuses on more than 2,500 young people who entered the EPPE study when they were aged three to five and have now completed compulsory education.

Some have remained in further study while others are working or NEET (not in education, employment or training). The report tells not only where they are now but how their early experiences have shaped the young people they have become.
