We just celebrated Mother’s Day, recognizing the long list of things mothers do for us – everything from feeding us and caring for us when we are sick, to protecting us from monsters in the closet and cheering us on at our sports events. Education might also hone the skills needed to access and effectively use the health care system. In general, infants born to more educated mothers have lower mortality rates.

Having better-educated parents means a higher household income, which for kids translates into attending better schools, among many other benefits.
