The purpose of this study is to investigate how students are sorted and classified in the higher education system. This includes looking into the concept of merit and how it influences these processes. Sorting refers to how students are placed into different categories or levels based on certain criteria, while stratification involves the ranking or hierarchical arrangement of these categories.

Participants in this study will undergo a series of assessments to evaluate their understanding of the education system. These assessments will help researchers gather data on how merit is perceived and applied within educational institutions. Merit, in this context, refers to the qualities or achievements that are deemed worthy of recognition and reward in an academic setting.
