——but that will not be of assistance to the children who are being streamed. I compliment those schools which, on a voluntary basis, do not engage in streaming. It has been found that children who are streamed on entering first year often do not have upward mobility and instead remain at the level at which they initially enter the system. This does them a disservice and their parents should be aware of that fact.
