Professor Robert Plomin, who has for years studied the relationship between genes and learning, argues that even though genetics don’t predetermine a child’s educational success, they do shape his or her inclinations early on.
In his view, genetics have very strong influence on academic results despite the intervention of parents and teachers to help with their learning.
His opinions challenge the growing popularity of the so-called growth mindset theory – developed by professor Carol Dweck of Stanford University – which argues that pupils can develop their skills through hard work and dedication.
