Mother's Education Crucial to Academic Success of Children

A new report reveals that the level of education a mother has attained, directly affects the academic success of her children.

The study was conducted by researchers from the University of Michigan who looked at the educational achievements of mothers and the aptitude of their children upon entering kindergarten in 1998 until the Spring of 2007.

14,279 cases were involved in the study and the grades of the children in Reading and Math were collected when they were grades three, five, and eight, in addition to annual interviews.
