The converse is that those of higher ability do not benefit from being in a streamed class with like pupils of higher ability. We are managing a flawed system where the outcomes show that it needs to be changed. It is deeply important because it goes to the core of education. Our focus should be on outcomes based on quality teaching and learning in our schools. We should have frequent education debates in this House. The Minister should come to the House. I want to see an improvement in our education system so that our children can have better outcomes.
