In fact, there is good reason to think that dismantling selective schools would actually benefit the privileged. The primary beneficiaries of such a move would be private schools — and those who can afford them. At the moment, the top selective schools thoroughly outperform private schools at a fraction of the cost to the student. Of all private schools in NSW, only Sydney Grammar and Ascham made it into the top 10 schools in last year’s HSC results. It seems likely that if selective schools were removed, private schools would take their place as the best performing institutions.
Selective schools are ladders of great social mobility. I have seen through friends and acquaintances how they offer a meritocratic pathway for students with a particular willingness and ability to learn who cannot afford to attend private schools. There are good reasons to think that removing them would increase economic stratification. We should therefore be cautious about diluting or dismantling selective schools without a sound evidentiary basis. None has been offered to date.
