Kinds of evidence showing the effects of schooling on IQ
Recommendations on system change
According
to Ceci (1991), there is a high correlation between IQ and the number of grades
completed or achieved by each student. I would recommend my school district as
part of system change to implement policies which will increase the students
IQ. Though IQ is heritable, years of schooling can also be heritable. In this
policy, the district can change the heritability of traits as well as the
variance and mean of heritable traits. These policies will be aimed at ensuring
that schooling affects IQ positively.
