In this dissertation, I assess whether educational standardization is good or bad for achieving equality in educational opportunity. I focus on education reforms that de-standardized student assessment in admissions and national curriculum in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. My analyses are organized into three empirical chapters. The first empirical chapter documents the cohort trend in college gap by social class in Taiwan, covering cohorts before and after the high school and college admission reforms which de-emphasized standardized tests in admission decisions. I find a stable class gap in college attendance throughout the pre-reform period, and a dramatic decrease in the class gap starting around the implementation of the admission reforms. In the second empirical chapter, I extend the research design in the first chapter to examine the parallel reforms in South Korea and Japan. The results comparing the Taiwanese and Korean reforms suggest that, de-emphasizing standardized tests in school admissions to middle school may have benefitted all students. But applying a similar reform to high school admissions may have decreased the gap between the low- and mid-SES groups. In contrast, the results from the Japanese analyses find an increase in inequality by home resources between the low- and mid-SES groups after national curriculum were de-standardized in 2002. The last empirical chapter focuses on the high school admission reform in Taiwan as a case study to explore the institutional mechanisms behind changes found in the earlier chapters. Utilizing a descriptive cohort analysis, I find a decrease in the class advantage of economic resources. However, the policy goal to expand the definition of student merit in school admissions may not have been achieved. Taken together, my results suggest that educational reforms that de-emphasize standardized tests and de-standardize school curriculum can have different impacts on class inequality in educational opportunities.
