A new report by ExpandED Schools highlights the fact that learning time is often cut short as the school year winds down, with elementary and middle schools in New York City showing as much as a 6% drop in attendance between April and June.
Missing time in school is the problem that ExpandED Schools is working to correct – the group’s motto is “Close the learning gap. Open the world.” The organization wants to build education enrichment into a lengthened school day to include extra time for learning activities. By doing so, students can have improved educational outcomes both in school and also in future endeavors.
