Document Summary
Ability grouping grouping children together based on their talents in the classroom: stronger ability-grouping in high school by programs and different courses based on ability. Academic and vocational distinctions (very few programs that devote attention to vocational streams) Students get streamed into subjects: placement stream. Academic and applied and open courses refer more specifically to post secondary outcomes. Refer more specifically to the post secondary outcome. Lots of debate around streaming and ability grouping. 3 kinds of levels in schooling: academic and vocational split, subject or field split, placement or program split. They are either very strong or struggling: hs curriculum is designed to split up students in accordance of their ability. Comes down to equity in learning opportunities. More learning happens in academic streams than vocational. Suggests a performance gap between academic and vocational (there"s a bigger gap between all hs students and those that have dropped out)
