Over at his blog, Andrew Leigh points to further research that looks at the United States pioneering early childhood intervention program Head Start. It looks at it slightly differently, but still acknowledges its overall benefit (even if not as beneficial as more intensive programs - like the Perry Pre-School, as Leigh states). This is welcoming. I believe there is still a question about whether the Head Start model as it has translated into the UK (Sure Start) and Australia (Victoria - Best Start) can claim the same sort of benefits. Certainly, the way James Heckman's research is used to justify any sort of investment into early childhood is problematic. I have been arguing that a lot of our early childhood policy in Australia is being linked back to Heckman's work, but that if we wanted to base our policy on his work we should be investing much more and targeting much more specifically than we currently are. We need more investment in children, but really as the Council of Australian Government's reports on Human Capital have identified, we need that investment to be where children are more disadvanataged and most in need. Thsi work has not effectively translated into adequate policy at this stage. There are some good projects, like the Victorian government's "Innovations Project" that look at more intensive family and childhood development services for children who have been subject to re-notifications in the child protection systems. the problem is the projects are under resourced and no where near innovative enough.
