This is thought-provoking stuff! On the one hand, great to keep only the academics at the high school and free up some funding….on the other hand, would this take out the ‘middle group’ of students (i.e. leaving the university-bound academics and the very low-performing bottom tier) and in essence the heart of a school? The low-performing group is most likely never going to pass that exam….and stay wandering the halls of our high schools.

Also, the potential to stratify our society is significant. Some countries decide a student’s future much earlier than 16, but I am one of those, in the true American spirit, who believes everyone can blossom and find their inner student at a different age. For some, that happens junior year.

I’ll be interested in following developments in this!
