(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at the University of Twente, Netherlands, recently demonstrated that differences in pupils` levels arise largely during holiday periods. They investigated pupils` progress in the field of reading proficiency and looked specifically at differences between the summer holiday and the rest of the school year. According to the researchers, if new research substantiates these results, this would argue in favour of measures such as support for weaker pupils during the summer.
