Prince George is influencing education just by going to school. Since the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s announcement that the little prince will be attending a Montessori nursery school, more people have been interested in the Montessori method of education.

The Maria Montessori Institute in London, which runs several schools and a Montessori teacher training centre, reports that there has been a 65 per cent increase in parents signing up for information about their schools compared to last year. Many are curious about the Montessori method, which focuses on the individual development of each child rather than tests and grades.

Many people are also now interested in being a Montessori teacher. There is a specific training required for teachers at Montessori schools. There has been a 45 per cent increase in people looking to attend information sessions for teachers. The Maria Montessori Institute offers an open afternoon every

so often when people can go and observe students, and those events have been fully booked since Prince George joined.

Lumos Labs, the company that developed the brain training app Lumosity, was recently fined $50 million by the Federal Trade Commission for deceiving its customers about the brain training benefits of its programmes. However, the company cannot afford to pay it, and will only pay $2 million to settle the charges.

Launched in 2005, Lumosity has over 70 million registered users worldwide. For a monthly fee of $, members have access to over 50 online and 25 mobile games. The games target and train specific areas of the brain. They are claimed to improve brain health, help you perform better at work and in school, and delay brain decline associated with age, if you play them three to four times a week for 15 minutes each time.

However, the government found that Lumos Labs could not provide scientific evidence to support its claims that its games can improve memory, attention and focus. The $2 million settlement will be used to pay back users.
