Maternal education programmes could improve mothers' test scores: Study

Results showed an increase of 11 percentage points in mothers who could recognise one-digit numbers

Literacy programmes for mothers can not only improve their own learning skills but also impact their children’s education, a recent study has found.

The study was led by Pratham, an education NGO, Cornell University and the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Parental education is correlated with higher participation in formal schooling and better decisions to improve child learning.
