Tracking and the Educational Spiral: Arab and Jewish Patterns of Educational Expansion.

Shavit, Yossi

Comparative Education Review, v33 n2 p216-31 May 1989

Uses 1983 Israeli census data for male Sephardic Jews, Ashkenazic Jews, Christians, and Arabs born 1942-1958 to analyze ethnic differences in patterns of educational expansion. Suggests that rigid tracking in Jewish secondary schools allows expansion of secondary education while alleviating expansionary pressures on tertiary education. Contains 36 references. (SV)
