We employed transcendental phenomenological qualitative approach to understand students' experiences in different categories. We interviewed (n = 20) students from three different school categories (A, B and C). This study provides an initial understanding into students lived experiences and subtle negative consequences of secondary school categorization and its adverse effect on students' academic self-esteem and equitable learning. The results showed that students' experiences differ significantly based on the Category of school they are enrolled. This study accentuates the need for policymakers to reexamine and restructure secondary school categorization to ensure quality and equitable schooling and educational experiences for all students. Implications for policy and practice are discussed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Human Behavior in the Social Environment is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
