Delayed tracking and inequality of opportunity: Gene-environment interactions in educational attainment
A. Knigge, I. Maas, et al.
This study by Antonie Knigge and colleagues explores the impact of delaying ability tracking in education on inequality of opportunity among children from varying socioeconomic backgrounds. Findings suggest that postponing tracking can reduce the influence of family background and enhance the realization of genetic potential for students, particularly those with lower test scores.
