Additional Information

A study conducted by the OECD concluded: “countries which stream pupils into ability groups at an early age tend to have lower levels of achievement". We want better education for our children in Britain.

Beatriz Pont, an education analyst and one of the authors of the OECD's study, said "streaming by ability at an early age "fuelled a vicious cycle" in which teachers had low expectations of students in the lowest sets. These students were often "locked into a lower educational environment before they had a chance to develop … their potential.”
