The High/Scope Perry Preschool Project

چکیده
Nearly 40 years ago, the High/Scope Perry Preschool Project developed a high-quality educational approach focusing on 3and 4-year-olds at risk for school failure. The longitudinal study has found that not only was the project effective as an educational intervention, it also demonstrated other positive outcomes, including a significantly lower rate of crime and delinquency and a lower incidence of teenage pregnancy and welfare dependency. By the age of 27, program participants were nearly three times as likely to own their own homes than the control group and less than half as likely to be receiving public assistance.
