The respected liberal Economic Policy Institute is holding an online press conference for journalists on May 2nd to release a new book that makes the case that investments in high-quality pre-kindergarten would improve educational outcomes and reap billions of dollars in savings in state and federal budgets over the next few decades. According to the announcement of the event, the book, "Enriching Children, Enriching the Nation" by Robert G. Lynch, will argue that either targeted programs aimed at the poor or universal programs available without regard to family income will produce big gains. That's interesting because most of the economists and activisits in the field of early childhood education argue either "universal" or "targeted," not both. Journalists need to sign up for the news conference and they'll get access to embargoed state-by-state material.
