Anyone who has taken a statistics course at the university level can see these numbers are dog shit. For a hypothesis to be statistically significant it needs to be at the very least 5% to reject the null.
This study was published for idiots who think education is listening to the media.

No, the p-value has to be at least 5% to reject the null. Assuming a is 5% and it's a one tailed test not two tailed..
And of course there are huge problems with using a flat 5% is a statistical significance marker, BSAP banned it's use.
Finish your stats class and try again.
That's not how statistics works. You can have a significant effect with a tiny effect size, or a large effect size that on analysis turns out to be insignificant.

Hmmm looks like you should have studied statistics more. Where did you get your degree?
