Poor housing causes English children to miss more school and score lower in tests, study finds.
Children in England living in poor-quality housing miss nearly 1.5 more school days annually and score 2% to 5% lower in maths and English tests by age 16, a study of nearly 9,000 children found.
Factors like overcrowding, damp, and inadequate heating were key contributors, affecting health, sleep, and study conditions.
Researchers say improving housing could boost academic performance and save the NHS £1.4 billion yearly, though the study is observational and has data limitations.
