Bottom 10% Policy

The Bottom 10% Policy typically refers to a strategy used in organizations, especially in education or performance management, where the lowest-performing individuals—say, the bottom 10%—are identified for additional support, intervention, or review. The goal is to improve overall quality by focusing resources on those most in need, helping them improve their performance. It's not about punishing but providing targeted assistance to lift performance across the board, aiming for fairer outcomes and overall progress.
