Early Bird Catches the Worm: The Causal Impact of Pre-school Participation and Teacher Qualifications on Year 3 NAPLAN Outcomes
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Attendance at preschool has a significant positive impact on later NAPLAN outcomes, particularly in the domains of Numeracy, Reading and Spelling. The direct causal effects of preschool attendance are equivalent to 10 to 20 NAPLAN points or 15 to 20 weeks of schooling at the Year 3 level, three years after attending preschool. Children who did not attend preschool would have gained more from attending preschool than those who actually attended. Children whose preschool teacher had a diploma or degree in early childhood education or child care gained the most from attending preschool – the level and specialisation of preschool teacher qualifications are important. Children whose preschool teacher had only a certificate level qualification in child care or early childhood teaching or had no relevant childcare qualification showed no significant benefit from attendance at preschool .
