Daycare Truts's 25th Anniversary Lecture
Creating a More Equal and Productive Britain
Daycare Trust’s 25th anniversary lecture, held on 19 May, was given by Professor James Heckman, Nobel prize winning economist and Henry Schultz Distinguished Service Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago.
The lecture, hosted in the Churchill Room at the Treasury and introduced by the Rt Hon Danny Alexander, Chief Secretary to the Treasury was entitled ‘Creating a more equal and productive Britain’ and reviewed the evidence on the links between non-cognitive and cognitive skills in later life. His multi-disciplinary and wide-ranging presentation clearly set out the need for investment in the early years, in order to deliver better outcomes for children.
