Choosing a school in a knowledge Vacuum.

Choosing a school in a knowledge Vacuum.

The first is the fact that the differences within any given group are always greater than the differences between two groups. The fact the differences within a group are bigger than differences between groups also applies to schools. There is very hard data showing “individual schools” are much more influential than “school sector” on the final ENTER/TES/OP results. In other words selecting or not selecting a school because it is (or is not) “Government” or “Catholic” or “Independent” is totally inappropriate.
It is the individual school that counts, nothing else.
