dc.description.abstract | Previous work by the authors suggested that during the 1970s and 1980s, a person?s earlycognitive ability became a less important determinant of his or her eventual educationalachievement. Furthermore, over the same time period, family background started to have agreater impact on a person?s achievement. Given that this coincided with the gradual demiseof the British selective grammar school system, it would seem that the role of selection(ability tracking) in the school system merits further investigation. This paper explores theinter-relationship between school selection, ability and educational achievement. Ourregression and matching results indicate that the most able pupils in the selective schoolsystem did do better than those of similar ability in the mixed ability school system. We do notfind evidence of significant negative effects of tracking for low/middle ability students. | en |
