Following the transfer of early childhood education to the auspices of the Ministry of Education, Taub Center researchers were invited to present their work to the Ministry of Education’s administration and evaluation teams. In a series of meetings, researchers presented data from the recent studies Preschool Attendance to Age 3 and Its Impact on Academic Achievement in Grade 4 and Enrollment of Arab Children in Supervised Daycare. Participants showed a great deal of interest in the material and said that it will be helpful in the long-term planning process. “We don’t know of similar findings relating to Israel,” said one of the participants.
