    Firstly, a teacher shouldn't be toilet training children, this is a mum and dad thingy.

    Lessons from Norway's approach to early childhood education and care

    Researchers found that:

    1. The country's publicly funded program has led to improvements in children's early language skills, and particularly those from low-income families
    2. By the age of three, this language improvement amongst low-income children attending early child care centres has significantly narrowed the language skill gaps between low- and high-income children
    3. The lessening of these 'achievement gaps' has been most obvious in the low-income communities that greatly increased the number of youngsters attending early child care centres

    Overall, the study indicates that by beginning early education and care in infancy, rather than between the ages of three and five, the 'achievement gaps' between advantaged and disadvantaged children are lessened.

    What does this mean for the rest of the world?

    Lead researcher, Professor Eric Dearing, says, "This study provides some of the first large-scale evidence that public early education for children as young as age one can be critical for children's language skills."

    And although the Boston College study encourages debate about the American approach to early education policy, back in Australia it's worth considering how early exposure to education and child care can benefit very young children, and especially those from low-income families.

    If the country cant unite over a sensible housing policy , can we unite over a sensible education policy?
