Why corporates care about kids

Research shows that as well as performing better in maths and reading, children who participate in quality early-learning programmes develop the increasingly important soft skills, have higher graduation rates, and enter the workforce with higher skills levels.

Obviously this is good for the kids.

But why should corporates care about early learning investment?

In the US, it’s estimated that each national class of high school dropouts will make $335 billion less over a lifetime than they would have had they finished school.

That’s a staggering loss of spending power.
