Government to Track 22 000 Toddlers for Six Years Study
The department will follow 22 000 children who entered kindergarten in fall 1998 to assess early progress through fifth grade.

Nicholas Zill emphasizes family background as a key factor in later success and cautions against blaming schools alone.
