Streaming had its place at a time when half of the children in Singapore were dropping out of school, said Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean.

SINGAPORE -

He said:"If you look back, why did we have streaming in the first place? It was to make sure we can do the best by every child." Mr Teo pointed out that it was then Deputy Prime Minister Goh Keng Swee who helped to introduce streaming as an attempt to give children an opportunity to further their education.

He said:"This was a wonderful achievement. I don't think there's any other country in the world with such high graduation rates and low drop out rates from secondary school, and high rates of people going to post-secondary education.
