Virginia TechOct 22 2024 More than 50 years ago, Craig Ramey, professor and Distinguished Research Scholar at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC, began a landmark study to investigate the long-term impacts of early childhood education on children from deeply impoverished, predominantly Black families.
The promise and limitations of early education The Abecedarian Project was designed in 1971 to test whether high-quality early education could close achievement gaps by providing half the participants five years of full-day, year-round, center-based education. All families enrolled in the study received individualized social services, pediatric health care, nutrition, and other supports.
Newly published data reveals gender gap The researchers noticed a pattern once the children reached high school. The societal toll on Black males For Ramey, the new study points to unique societal pressures Black boys face in school and community settings. The researchers carefully noted the study's limitations, including a small sample size that makes it harder to spot sex differences. Unique features of the original program – like well-trained and paid teachers, free transportation, and daily monitoring – aren't typical in most of today's early childhood education programs.
