• Age of selection counts: a cross-country analysis of educational institutions (2009, background): “Although socioeconomic background does not account for differences in student performance between and within schools as assumed – implying ability is a stronger predictor (Marks, 2006) – for policy-makers socioeconomic background is a central focus.”
• Curricular Tracking and Central Examinations: Counterbalancing the Impact of Social Background on Student Achievement in 36 Countries (2014, background): “…results are confirmed by various studies that show that inequality has been reduced in countries that have moved from a tracked to a comprehensive educational system (Gamoran 1996; Gamoran and Weinstein 1998; Duru-Bellat and Kieffer 2000; Meghir and Palme 2005; Pekkarinen, Uusitalo, and Kerr 2009).”
