Abstract
This study analyzes participation of selected minorities and female students in particular secondary-school courses in six Southwestern Ontario boards of education during the 1988–1989 school year. Relative over- or underrepresentation of each group studied was tabulated by course type, grade, and level of difficulty. Results taken across all six boards indicate, among other relationships, overrepresentation of recently immigrated students in advanced-level university-entrance English classes, modest underrepresentation of Black students in advanced-level core subjects, and strong underrepresentation of Native Canadian Indian students in advanced-level English and math. Individual board analyses showed considerable deviation from across-board patterns.
