Sitting outside the curriculum, extra- or co-curricular activities that focus on career development, leadership, service or recognition can lead to positive employability and employment outcomes.

Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has been criticized for being elitist and increasing social differences.

Childhood socioeconomic status (SES) is one of the strongest predictors of student reading outcomes, and these disparities have persisted for decades. Relatedly, two underlying skills that are required for successful reading--oral language and executive function (EF)--are also the two neurocognitive domains most affected by SES. In this review, we…
