Sorting and selecting students between and within schools
OECD · Programme for international student assessment/Internationale Schulleistungsstudie · 2020
This chapter describes how students are selected and sorted into different programmes or tracks, both between and within schools. It discusses the age at which students are first tracked and the types of programmes into which they are tracked (general or vocational). Grouping students by ability, both between and within classes, is also examined. These policies are then related to student performance and equity in the education system.
