Without compensatory measures – including pre-school education, ideally beginning at a very young age – unequal opportunities translate into unequal lifelong outcomes by the time children reach the age of five. That should be a spur to policy action.
不采取补偿措施——包括最好从幼儿时期就开始的学前教育——机会不平等就会在儿童达到五岁时转化为一生结果的不平等。这应该成为对政策行动的鞭策。
