Education Begins At Home

The home environment is the single biggest factor in educational attainment. By creating an environment that values education and supports a child’s learning, parents are giving their child a significant head start in life.

Education begins at home on Facebook and Twitter is a place for parents and carers to share ideas on how to help their child through education and play. Members are encouraged to post useful links to activities and learning tools that can help children develop their learning skills. Information and links to a wide variety of education based topics is also available on the page. More information can be found on the Welsh Government website.
