Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Project Head Start was designed to give low-income children a head start in their education by providing opportunities to develop skills that are important for success in school. This includes early experiences with reading, writing, and math, as well as socialization and emotional development. The program also provides health and nutrition services to ensure that children are physically ready to learn. While job-related skills and school choice may be important for reducing poverty and improving educational outcomes over the long term, these were not the primary goals of Project Head Start.
