Melanie Webber: PPTA President says streaming of classes causes harm to young people - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Adopting a policy to end streaming in schools is on the agenda for the secondary teachers union today.

Streaming is when students are grouped into different classes based on perceived ability.

The Post Primary Teachers Association is discussing it at its annual conference today and has recommended members push for resourcing to end the practice by 2030.

President Melanie Webber says it causes harm to young people.

She says it stops students from being able to access education and encourages them to make decisions about pathways very early on.
