The Department of Education is announcing a proposed change to an ongoing information collection related to the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study for the Kindergarten Class of 2022-23. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the study is delayed by one year and will now target the Kindergarten Class of 2023-24. This study focuses on early childhood education and development by collecting data on children from preschool through elementary school. The public is invited to comment on the changes by March 22, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Education needed to change the timing of a study about little kids starting school because of the coronavirus. Now, instead of starting with kids in 2022, they will start with kids in 2023, and they want to know what people think about this change.
