The long-term impact of prekindergarten programs is an important consideration given the trend of dedicating more resources to these programs. However, long-term impact of prekindergarten programs is not well-understood and recent studies have shown preschool effectiveness can vary across states and programs. A state run prekindergarten program in New Mexico was examined using propensity score matching to minimize selection bias. The research revealed a number of long-term impacts corresponding with prekindergarten participation for the cohort including a 9.7 percentage point increase in high school graduation rates and improved reading and math proficiency at third, sixth, and eighth grades. Considerations for future research and challenges in implementing prekindergarten programs are discussed.
鉴于将更多资源投入到学前教育项目的趋势，学前教育项目的长期影响是一个重要的考量因素。然而，学前教育项目的长期影响尚未得到充分理解，最近的研究表明，学前教育的成效在不同州和项目之间可能存在差异。通过倾向得分匹配法对新墨西哥州的一个州立学前教育项目进行了研究，以尽量减少选择偏差。研究发现，该队列中与参与学前教育相关的一系列长期影响包括高中毕业率提高9.7个百分点，以及三、六、八年级的阅读和数学成绩得到改善。文中还讨论了未来研究的注意事项以及实施学前教育项目面临的挑战。
