德国的中等教育体系是高度分层的。然而，在过去几十年中，高等教育的规模大大扩大，导致学生在不同教育领域的分布发生了重大变化。随着德国的统一，学校的结构也发生了一定程度的变化。此外，一些较小的教育改革增加了在不同轨道之间移动的灵活性。本研究描述了从1970年到2006年不断变化的分布情况，并探讨了在这一过程中，初中教育成果和向高中教育过渡方面的社会不平等是否发生了变化。我们没有发现有力的证据表明，在获得初中毕业证书或进入各种高中选择方面，社会不平等现象发生了变化。大多数但不是所有观察到的不平等是由于个人的中学排名较低。
The German secondary education system is highly stratified. However, the higher tracks have expanded vastly over the last decades, leading to substantial changes in the distribution of students across the different tracks. Following the German re‐unification, the school structure itself has also changed to some degree. Furthermore, several smaller education reforms have increased the flexibility of moving between different tracks. This study describes the changing distributions from 1970 to 2006 and examines whether social inequality in lower secondary education outcome and transition to upper secondary education has changed during the process. We find no robust evidence for change in social inequalities in the attainment of lower secondary school‐leaving certificates or entry into the various upper secondary options. Most but not all of the observed inequality is due to individuals’ lower secondary track placement.
