I think that education, in order to contribute to democracy, should celebrate diversity. However, in my own experience of being educated in the Netherlands, that is not currently the case.

Through early selection at the age of 12, I was put in a class for students to prepare them for academic education. From age 14, we even had our own building. After that I went straight to university and now, at the end of my studies, I realize I almost exclusively cross paths with people who are also academically educated.
