Selection in medicine actually creates more inequality of opportunity

Since 2017, a place in studies such as medicine or dentistry is no longer drawn by lot, but selected. Education editor Patricia Veldhuis sees that this leads to lectures with mainly white students with wealthy parents. It also creates more inequality of opportunity. The House of Representatives will vote on the selection procedure next week. The system needs to be fairer. But will that work?
