The Brain: Enriched Environments

The EPPE study, led by Professor Iram Siraj-Blatchford, investigates the impact of educational environments on children aged 3 to 11. It highlights that the quality of staff is more crucial than physical resources for children's development. The study also reveals that balancing social and cognitive development leads to better outcomes. Additionally, the home learning environment significantly affects cognitive growth, reinforcing that more resources alone don't enhance learning.
