  yes thr is. but deyve done away with em3 tho. from my moms experience as a teacher, em3 calibre students now in em2 are really suffering because they just do not have the means to understand some em2 stuff..

  Various changes around EM1, EM2 and EM3 to allow flexibility in studies, but the grouping (now the same though) is still there and the stigma.
  
  Whatever. They are still not doing things right.

  I guess you are really mistaken about EM3 calibre students.
  
  Some of the EM3 students having learning difficulties,
  
  e.g. ADHD
  family problems,
  weak memorization skills etc
  
  This can be only found out if the teacher gives personal attention to the student.
  All streaming does is the lump all these children into one class without trying to understanding why these children are adverse to learning.
  
  We fall too easily into the govt's propaganda that learning at a slower pace is a solution to all problems. Till this day, the govt has never admitted its a mistake to stream so early.
