The negative impact of poverty on young children<\/h1>\r\n

Despite the fact, that early childhood has a crucial impact on future development, our society is still doing too little to give children from marginalized communities a chance at a better life.<\/p><\/p> <\/div>\n

Education doesn’t carry the same value for people living in poverty as it does for the middle class. They rarely see examples of success through education in their community.<\/h5> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

The benefit of education is very abstract, uncertain, long-term. The situation is even worst in the most neglected communities. In more developed and less segregated areas, we see greater interest in education. However, help needs to start long before school. Researchers from Charles University conducted a study for ETP Slovakia (Environmental Training Program), showing that children from excluded communities already experience an average two-year developmental delay by the time they enter primary school. This means, that a child with a physiological age of six may still have the mental capacity of a four-year-old. For many children, the situation is even worse. The gap continues to widen, and the developmental delay increases with time.<\/p> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
