The students started Grade 9 between 2006-15.<\/p>\n<p>We found that the difference between the percentage of East Asian students going to post-secondary study (86 per cent) and the percentage of Latin American students going (50 per cent) was almost 36 per cent. This difference far exceeds the 19 per cent gap in graduation rates between the same groups.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, relatively few students who self-identify as Black or Mixed when asked about their race go on to post-secondary education (55 and 61 per cent, respectively).<\/p>\n<p>Group-based differences are even greater for students with disabilities, measured by formal or informal identification through special education.<\/p>\n<p>The patterns in this data needs to be understood not as merely reflecting individual \u201cchoices.\u201d Instead, the focus on group-based differences in who accesses post-secondary should be understood as disparities in access. These access disparities raise questions about the system itself.<\/p>\n<p>A key factor driving divergent post-secondary outcomes are the type of academic courses (English, math, science, geography, history, and so on) in which students enroll.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Significance of Grade 12 \u2018U\u2019 courses<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In the next weeks, the vast majority of students will choose between either University (\u201cU\u201d) and College (\u201cC\u201d) courses in grades 11 and 12.<\/p>\n<p>In theory, both types of courses leave the doors open for post-secondary access.<\/p>\n<p>But most people are unaware of data showing that all university-bound students, and two-thirds of college-bound students, complete at least one Grade 12 \u201cU\u201d course by the end of high school.<\/p>\n<p>Our study found that among the quarter of graduates with no Grade 12 \u201cU\u201d courses, 71 per cent did not apply to post-secondary education at all. Only 23 per cent made the transition to college.<\/p>\n<p>We also showed that U-level English and math courses are particularly important \u201cgatekeeping\u201d courses. Students from groups who are less likely to go on to post-secondary education are less likely to take the \u201cU\u201d courses that expand opportunities.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Preventable systemic discrimination<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>These discrepancies point to preventable\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohrc.on.ca\/en\/iii-principles-and-concepts\/2-what-discrimination\">systemic discrimination<\/a>\u00a0\u2014especially because group-based differences in \u201cU\u201d course enrollment persist after we control for achievement.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take the example of disabled students: Among non-disabled students, virtually every student who got all As in their academic subjects in Grade 9 enrolled in Grade 12 U-level English (99.6 per cent).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_71788\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71788\" class=\"size-full wp-image-71788\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PerCentEnglishCourses.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PerCentEnglishCourses.jpg 680w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PerCentEnglishCourses-250x176.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-71788\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Percentage of high school students enrolling in English courses labelled \u2018U\u2019, by disability and prior achievement.

A large majority of non-disabled students who got all their credits but no As in Grade 9 enrolled in Grade 12 U-level English (83 per cent). Among disabled students with comparable marks, only 46 per cent took the gateway course.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Key life decisions<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>It is critical that students and families making key life decisions know about the very uneven long-term outcomes of choosing between these misleadingly labelled \u201cU\u201d and \u201cC\u201d upper-year courses: As our research showed, \u201cU\u201d courses are in fact not only critical for pathways to university, they are also associated with pathways to college. We need to see systemic change to disrupt these patterns.<\/p>\n<p>Our research suggests that the premise underpinning the provincial government\u2019s \u201cmany pathways to success\u201d is flawed.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the dearth of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.yorku.ca\/files\/Feasibility-Study-Unlocking-Student-Potential-through-Data-FINAL-REPORT-Feb-2017.pdf\">public reporting<\/a>\u00a0on post-secondary education and equity outcomes, there are clear \u2014 but poorly understood \u2014 disparities.<\/p>\n<p>And these differences create pathways to lifetime inequalities in health, earnings and happiness for marginalized youth \u2014 and a less inclusive and prosperous society.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios:<\/strong> Kelly Gallagher-Mackay is Assistant Professor of Law and Society at Wilfrid Laurier University, Carl E.
