The coming about of the recommendation for secondary school In the last grade of Dutch primary school, pupils receive a recommendation regarding the type of secondary school that is most appropriate for them to subsequently attend. Analysis of variance was performed on data from nearly 5700 grade 8 pupils and 500 classes. The focus was on the role of the parents and schools concerning this recommendation. More specific topics were: the interests, expectations and possibilities of parental support; the factors that determine the recommendation; the parents’ role in the decision making process; and both parental and juvenal (non)conformity with the recommendation. For each of these topics the relationships with pupil characteristics (sex, SES and ethnicity) and class/school characteristics (e.g., socioethnic composition) were analyzed.
