Sifting and sorting
Sifting and sorting refers to the concept of role allocation and is seen as a key function of the education system by functionalist sociologists such as Parsons. Functionalists tend to think that this sifting and sorting (ensuring the right people enter the most appropriate jobs and roles in life) is meritocratic.
