A school-diversity panel created by Mayor Bill de Blasio wants to junk the gifted-and-talented programs and other forms of academic screening in city schools.

Arguing that such programs perpetuate racial inequality because they’re comprised mostly of white and Asian students, the School Diversity Advisory Group called on de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza to ditch the current G&T system, according to recommendations released Monday.

The panel also recommended tossing academic admissions screening for middle schools and most high schools.

But even the panel acknowledged that the proposed sweeping change could induce the widespread flight of those same thriving students from the system — leaving city schools bereft of crucial talent and still not integrated.

While the report has no binding power, the panel is stocked with close allies of both de Blasio and Carranza — and the mayor can implement its suggestions at will.

The contents of the report were first reported by The New York Times.

De Blasio only said of the report Monday, “Every child, regardless of ZIP code, has the right to attend a school where they can thrive.

“I thank the School Diversity Advisory Group for all their hard work to promote equity and excellence across our system, and I look forward to reviewing their recommendations. ”

Carranza added, “We’re going to review their recommendations and take action to ensure all students have access to a rich and rigorous education.”

But the schools chancellor has already openly questioned the legitimacy of gifted-and-talented programs, including to a group of Queens parents in February.

“When you have over 35% of your students be designated as gifted and talented, we need to bottle the water we’re drinking and ship it all over the place,” he said sarcastically.

“Because that is far beyond the percentage of gifted and talented that, from a statistical perspective, should be found in the population.”

Backers of the current system counter that it rewards diligence and accommodates families of advanced kids who would otherwise abandon the public school system altogether.

And proponents of gifted-and-talented programs and other screens note that many top city schools have significant populations of poor immigrants.

Several groups have even argued that the city should expand rather than contract gifted and talented programs, citing higher minority enrollment at top schools when they were abundant, especially in lower-income areas.

The panel’s recommendations would apply to all elementary and middle schools, along with some high schools, according to the report.

The report echoed statements made previously by de Blasio and Carranza about the lack of black and Hispanic enrollment in specialized and screened schools.

The high-achievement thresholds “have become proxies for separating students,” the report said.
