From my understanding the goal is to make outcomes as even as possible, not give every kid the identical equal education.
Equal education is simply each student gets the same curriculum, funding, and classrooms. It's a core tenant of how we run public schooling.

The alternative is generally called specialization or streamed education. In Europe they'd identify the kids and put them in an appropriate school. That being a Renfrew type school within the public system. Same for high schools. Trade stream goes to this school. University stream goes here. It's all public meaning government funded, all the schools just aren't identical.

So yes, its entirely possible for public schools to become specialized. It's a choice we made decades ago to not do that.
