I see no benefit of streaming except to create low self-esteem for the seemingly "under-achievers" and immense pressure for the children, parents and teachers.<br /><br />All children are equal and should be given a good education, regardless of aptitude, all the way to secondary. In today's day and age, streaming only create a greater divide between the elite and non-elites.<br /><br />The streaming policy is totally wrong. It should be abolished and be rest in peace together with the creator, Mr. Goh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957101.post-30870323039749543862010-05-21T06:27:39.241+08:002010-05-21T06:27:39.241+08:00EDUCATIONAL WASTAGE

So stingy that he coined the term <a rel="nofollow">"educational wastage"</a> - he consider it a waste of money to allow all children to have a secondary education. So he specially come up with a pri 3 streaming exam to predict who can pass O-level and who can't. The former will not be allowed to proceed beyond Pri 8, lest they waste his precious education resources! That's the kind of shit he implemented. <br /><br />Because of him, Singapore now has structural unemployment due to absence of an educated workforce!<br /><br />This man was just as short-sighted and extreme in his policies as LKY. They were two bed fellows who ruined sg.
