Summary
Major education-related findings include the association between educational achievement and mental health, tertiary achievement and early cognitive measures, and gender and ethnicity in terms of educational achievement. The report concludes that social policy thinking needs to take a comprehensive view of human development that encompasses an understanding of how multiple problems co-occur. This understanding will assist in the design of effective interventions.
