We need streaming to support our human resource-based economy. However, children mature differently and at different paces. I think we shouldn’t stream so early on starting from primary school because children at that age aren’t mature enough to understand the importance. In secondary school the playing field would be more fair.

Got pros and cons. Pro because no stereotyping, everyone is treated equally. But con is that some are slower in learning and will need more time and attention to keep up. So if everyone is put in the same class, the slower learners will be at a huge disadvantage.

yes I totally agree with this with this idea cause it will be less stressful for the kids .and it will be able enjoyable for the kids to take time to explore other activities to develop their own skills that they went to develop into

I think with the fair amount of tests and pressure on the kids. Academic streaming should still have... as it gives the kids a push and strive to do their best

Streaming is another word for pressure and besides there’s no guarantee that the kids will be successful in the future. Stop labelling kids!

I'm actually mixed in this, I think its important to be competitive at a young age as it gets harder down in life.

Yes. Kids might grow up thinking one is better than the other. School is more than academic..

Yes, it should be abolished. It's meaningless and they are still so young to be stereotyped
