The Case for 320,000 Kindergarten Teachers

"Students who had learned much more in kindergarten were more likely to go to college than students with otherwise similar backgrounds. Students who learned more were also less likely to become single parents. As adults, they were more likely to be saving for retirement. Perhaps most striking, they were earning more."

These findings reinforce the importance of the quality of early childhood education. It should be the focus of policy makers in leveling the playing field instead of enforcing reservations at higher education institutes because by that time, it is already too late and makes little difference.
