In early selection countries like the Netherlands and Germany, differences between children from lower- and higher-educated parents turn out greater than in late selection countries like Sweden and Finland. The declining influence of the Dutch Cito exam disadvantages children from lower social classes, says the report "Comparing Educational Systems: Learning, Working and Citizenship." According to one of the authors of the report, this is due to the parents' role: "Highly educated parents may perhaps pressurize the teacher for a better recommendation."
