Increasingly select population by final year
• Left school
• Range of courses and choices
• Not all students study all subjects

• Curricular choices available to students
• Students choosing to specialize
• Selectivity of country
Percentage enrolled in advanced courses varies
• Small percentages in advanced courses
• “Best and brightest”
Increasing differentiation

TIMSS AdvancedResults
• Extensive data on contexts for learning
• Achievement in relation to contexts
• Information about students’ programs and experiences
![Page 9: TIMSS Advanced 2008 Overview](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062722/568139bb550346895da15d01/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Key Policy Issue – “Yield”
How many can be educated to high level?
• “Mathematics for all”
• Practical considerations
• Strategic planning
![Page 10: TIMSS Advanced 2008 Overview](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062722/568139bb550346895da15d01/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Assessed carefully defined populations
• Taking advanced courses in mathematics or physics
• Specialists in pre-university programs
• Programs lasting three to five years
![Page 11: TIMSS Advanced 2008 Overview](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062722/568139bb550346895da15d01/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Areas of concern
• Disappointing achievement
• Declines in yield – fewer students and lower achievement
• Lack sufficient people with sufficient skills
![Page 37: TIMSS Advanced 2008 Overview](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062722/568139bb550346895da15d01/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Potential teachershortages
• Dwindling of supply of highly educated teachers
• Existing teachers nearing retirement
![Page 38: TIMSS Advanced 2008 Overview](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062722/568139bb550346895da15d01/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Compelling necessity• More students into
mathematics and science courses
• More mathematics and science students into teachers
