From home to school - how Canadian children cope
Abstract
This report outlines some initial results from the School Component of the
first and second cycles of the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and
Youth (NLSCY). It examines the longitudinal influence of Early Childhood Care
and Education and literacy activities on young children's future academic and
cognitive outcomes. This overview highlights the information newly available
from this component of the survey; it is not comprehensive in its coverage or
its analysis. Indeed, the information collected by the NLSCY is so rich and
detailed that researchers and analysts will be using it to address a variety
of important questions concerning the education of children and youth in Canada
for many years to come. Here then, we are merely scratching the surface to stimulate
awareness of this rich new data source, and to illustrate the kinds of analyses
it makes possible.
