Early tracking

‘Early tracking means the early streaming of pupils by abilities into different types of provision or school; this includes placing children into separate schools’ (European Agency, 2018a, p. 34). This is considered a segregation practice that increases inequality in learner outcomes, especially when it occurs before age 13 (INCLUD-ED, 2009). Therefore, it is suggested that support structures avoid early tracking into vocational or academic routes (European Agency, 2019a).
