Call for school streaming to be scrapped

Streaming of students in New Zealand schools has been common, but calls are growing for it to be tossed out. The ministry of education is already looking at "moving away" from streaming in the face of strong criticism. New research by Māori Futures Collective Tokona Te Raki says it needs to be removed entirely as it disadvantages Māori and increases "learners' sense of low self-worth and low self-esteem.
