A World with Equity in Educational Success

Over 10 million people have been genotyped worldwide and researchers have now identified the genetic variants associated with success in education. Today, a researcher can use a person’s genetic code to predict how many years of schooling they will complete – and this prediction will be just as accurate as if the researcher had used a traditional predictor of academic success like family income.

This revolution in genetics poses fundamental questions for what we think we know about education. Join this Research Briefing to find out how we can ensure that the capabilities of every child are maximized, regardless of the genes they happened to be born with.
