The Effects of Reducing Tracking in Upper Secondary School
利用瑞典教育改革前的试点计划，研究了减少学术与职业轨差异对职业学生高中完成率、大学入学及收入的影响，发现高中教育增加但大学入学和收入无显著变化。
By exploiting an extensive pilot scheme that preceded an educational reform, this paper evaluates the effects of introducing a more comprehensive upper secondary school system in Sweden. The reform reduced the differences between academic and vocational tracks through prolonging and increasing the academic content of the latter. As a result, all vocational students became eligible for university studies. The results suggest that the policy change increased the amount of upper secondary schooling obtained among vocational students, but did not affect enrollment in university studies or students' earnings later in life.
