Tracking
I believe tracking is very effective on the classroom level but not on the national level. If the class is divided up into smaller groups ranging from least advanced to most advanced, it makes it easier for the teacher to assess and grade the students based on their abilities. The students also learn from each other if they are in the same classroom and not separated into different environments or classrooms. On the national level, I don't think students have as much mobility to move to high levels than they do in the classroom, so I don't support tracking on the national level. Most of the students that are in a certain category of ability often stay in that category and it isn't fair.
